Distribution and habitat. Anolis fuscoauratus is widespread in the Amazonia and central-northern portion of the Atlantic Forest. It occurs in southern Panama (Central America), Brazil, French Guiana, Suriname, Guyana, Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and Bolivia (South America—Fig. 3). In Brazil it is known from Amapá, Pará, Maranhão, Amazonas, Roraima, Acre, Rondônia, Mato Grosso (Amazonian region), Ceará, Paraíba, Pernambuco, Alagoas, Sergipe, Bahia, Minas Gerais, and Espírito Santo (Atlantic Forest). Anolis fuscoauratus is arboreal and diurnal. In Amazonia it inhabits primary and secondary terra firme forests, várzea and igapó, where it is found on the vegetation (tree trunks, fallen trunks, lianas and shrubs) between 1–3 meters above ground, agilely moving across a variety of heights, and occasionally on the ground ( Hoogmoed 1973; Duellman 1978; Cunha et al. 1985; Martins 1991; Ávila-Pires 1995; Vitt et al. 2003b; Schlüter et al. 2004; Ribeiro-Júnior et al. 2006; Vitt et al. 2008a).
