he International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature has declined to use its plenary power to designate a neotype for\ Anolis chlorocyanus\ Dum{\'e}ril \& Bibron, 1837. As a result, the specific name\ Anolis chlorocyanus\ Dum{\'e}ril \& Bibron, 1837, will have priority over\ A.\ coelestinus\ Cope, 1862 as the valid name for the well-known, predominantly North Island Hispaniolan anole species. The species known as\ Anolis chlorocyanus\ since Dunn (1930) needs to be renamed.
