In later use after scientific Latin Anolis, genus name (1802 (see note at definition); earlier in post-classical Latin as anolis , apparently ablative plural (1693 in Ray); < French). Compare earlier anole n.

Zoology.

Originally: an anole (lizard). Later also (in form Anolis): a genus of lizards that comprises the anoles (family Polychrotidae or Iguanidae).Valid publication of the genus name: F. M. Daudin in C. S. Sonnini Buffon's Hist. nat., gén. et particulière des reptiles (1802) IV. 89.
