Enyalioides anisolepis is a species of lizards in the genus Enyalioides, from the Amazonian slopes of the Andes range in southern Ecuador and northern Peru. It differs from its cogenerate species by possessing scattered, projecting large scales on its dorsum, flanks, and hind limbs; a well-developed vertebral crest, with vertebrals on its neck being about three times in size compared to those between the animal's hind limbs.[1]
