The specific name, richardii, is in honor of French botanist Louis Claude Marie Richard.[3]
A. richardii is native to Grenada and the Grenadines islands, and it has been introduced to Tobago.[4]
A. richardsii is large for an anole, with males reaching a maximum length of 140 mm (5.5 in) snout-to-vent. It has a dark green or brown dorsal surface, with a green-gray to yellow ventral surface. Its dewlap is orange, yellow, or gray-green. Females and juveniles often have a yellow or cream-colored lateral stripe.[4]
