FIGURE 9. Horned iguanas from the Central American clade of the "rhinolopha" phenotype. Photographed from invasive introduced populations in the Lesser Antilles: old male caught in Saint Lucia (A). young male caught on Saint Maarten (B); Annotations: 1. Huge subtympanic plate, 2 to 3 times the size of the eardrum. 2. A half crown of sublabial scales around the subtympanic plate and the first scale anterior to subtympanic plate. 3. Mosaic of sublabial scales. 4. Swelling of the jowls in breeding male. 5. Generally 2-3 small median horns and no lateral horns. 6. Flat small horns. 7. Triangular nostril. 8. Yellow to dark orange eye with not the white visible. 9. Triangular gular spikes. 10. Number of gular spikes ± 10. 11. Nuchal tubercles appear to be organised in rows. 12. High number of nuchal tubercles. 13. Very large nuchal tubercles. 14. Yellow, orange to red dorsal scales on the whole body in breeding males. 15. Variable size and colour of the dewlap but often large and not uniform black (cf. I. iguana sanctaluciae) or creamy white (cf. I. iguana insularis). 16.
