in Trinidad. A number of anole species (Anolis) may be easily observed, even in suburban areas, which include Anolis aeneus, Anolis extremus, Anolis richardii, Anolis sagrei, Anolis trinitatis and Anolis wattsii. Only Anolis planiceps is a Trinidad native, with all the other previous anoles mentioned being relatively recent or historically introduced. Anolis tigrinus appears to be a central Venezuelan Coastal Range-Tobago endemic. However, we also have photographic evidence that A. tigrinus is present on Trinidad. Other common lizards include macro-teiids (or whip-tailed lizards) such as Ameiva ameiva and Ameiva atrigularis (both locally called the zandoli or ground lizard and common even in suburban gardens), Kentropyx striata and Cnemidophorus lemniscatus (most readily seen along some coastal areas of southwestern Tobago and on Trinidad's east and south coasts and on the islands of Chacachacare, Huevos, Little Tobago and Goat Island). The many-coloured bush anole (Polychrus marmoratus) and Audubon's multicoloured lizard (Polychrus auduboni) are found in the semi-deciduous forests, evergreen montane forests and some disturbed areas of both islands. Among the micro-teiids (or spectacled lizards), Bachia heteropa can be found on both islands while Bachia trinitatis is found in Trinidad, and Bachia alleni and Bachia flavescens are found in Tobago, not Trinidad. Other microteiids include Underwood's spectacled tegu (Gymnophthalmus underwoodi) which is found in open areas such as parks and gardens on both islands, and the golden spectacled tegu (Gymnophthalmus speciosus) which is found on the, now uninhabited, island of Chacachacare, off the coast of Trinidad. The Greater Windward skink (Copeoglossum aurae) is a recently discovered species of skink (described in 2012) found in the rainforest areas, coconut trash, and cultivated and disturbed areas of both Trinidad and Tobago. The Lesser Windward skink (Marisora aurulae), also described in 2012, is sympatric with C. aurae (on both islands). Nocturnally active geckos of the genera Thecadactylus and Hemidactylus are common in old and rural buildings on both islands and are commonly referred to as mabouyas and wood slaves respectively. These include Thecadactylus rapicauda, Hemidactylus mabouia and Hemidactylus palaichthus. There are a number of small colourful diurnal geckos of the genus Gonatodes present. One of them, Gonatodes ocellatus is endemic to forests and edge habitats of northeastern Tobago while another, Gonatodes vittatus or the streak lizard as it is locally known, is very common and can be seen in most suburban and even urban backyards in Trinidad (and is probably relatively recently introduced to some parts
