Basiliscus galeritus Duméril, 1851: Figure 8A Basiliscus galeritus Duméril 1851: 61. Material examined. Table 2. Adults of this large semiaquatic lizard are easily recognized by their gray to green color and the presence of a single, rounded head crest that is larger in males. Similar species that are found sympatric with B. galeritus are Corytophanes cristatus and Basiliscus basiliscus. The first is usually brownish and has 2 head crests that converge posteriorly. Basiliscus basiliscus has a brown or gray coloration and a single pointed head crest that is larger in males. Males of B. basiliscus also have a large crest in the back that resembles a fin (Maturana 1962; Savage 2002; Köhler 2008). Corytophanes cristatus (Merrem, 1820): Figure 8B Agama cristata Merrem 1820: 50. Corytophanes cristatus —Boie in Schlegel 1827: 290. Material examined. Table 2.
