[5] Adults have white to light green spots on their flanks that can merge towards the posterior to form a barred pattern, with some variability between populations in the distinctiveness or presence of the stripes.

The Anguilla Bank ameiva population on the main island of Saint Martin was described as a separate subspecies, P. p. analifera, in 1992.

[6] It differs from other populations by having faded stripes, and three to five vertical black bars or bands across the shoulder area in larger individuals.

It is restricted to very localized populations on Saint Martin due to predation from the widespread mongoose, which causes it to be absent from many areas in which it would otherwise thrive.

[4] Populations of Anguilla Bank ameivas on Saint Barthélemy differ considerably in appearance between islands.
