During three short visits to the coffee-growing region in the hills north of Pochutla (Oaxaca, Mexico), we observed Anolis macrinii in its natural habitat. The species appeared to be relatively abundant, and we collected 12 individuals, including several adult males. The holotype of this species was reported erroneously to be an adult male but actually is a female. The confusion might have arisen from the moderate-sized dewlap present in adult females. However, males have a very large dewlap and a pair of moderately to greatly enlarged postcloacal scales. We provide color descriptions in life for three individuals, color photographs in life, description and illustration of hemipenis morphology, and some natural history notes. Finally, we discuss the conservation status of this species.
Durante tres visitas cortas a la región cafetalera en el norte de Pochutla (Oaxaca, México), observamos a Anolis macrinii en su habitat natural. La especie parece ser relativamente abundante y colectamos 12 individuos incluyendo varios ejemplares de machos adultos. El holotipo de esta especie fue erróneamente registrado como un adulto macho cuando en realidad es una hembra. La confusión pudo surgir del pliegue gular moderadamente grande que presentan las hembras adultas. Sin embargo los machos poseen un pliegue gular sumamente grande y un par de escamas poscloacales moderatemente a fuertemente agrandadas. Proveemos descripción de color en vida para tres individuos, fotografías a color en vida, descripción, ilustraciones de la morfología de los hemipenes y algunas notas de historia natural. Finalmente discutimos el estado de conservación para esta especie.
