Six-toed brown anole reported by DeVos et al. 2020 in Herp. Review
Read all about them in the most recent (December 2020) Natural History Notes section of Herpetological Review (searching on “Anolis” will get you to these reports expeditiously in the pdf).

Professor of Biology and Director of the Living Earth Collaborative at Washington University in Saint Louis. I've spent my entire professional career studying anoles and have discovered that the more I learn about anoles, the more I realize I don't know.

I saw the air pocket on the rostrum of Anolis polylepis when I put it under the water in an aquarium, testing for Anolis aquaticus bubble formation on non-acuatics lizards. Then, I tried to do the same with a Basiliscus basiliscus, but the air pocket no appears. anoles do not wet their head and much of their trunk wet when submerged in water, but basilisks do get completely wet.
