An American chameleon is an arboreal lizard native to the southeastern United States, Latin name Anolis carolinensis.
The seven levels of classification for a lizard are Kingdom (Animalia), Phylum (Chordata), Class (Reptilia), Order (Squamata), Family (Varanidae, Agamidae, etc.), Genus (Anolis, Chamaeleo, etc.), and Species (e.g., Anolis carolinensis for the Carolina anole).
Depends on what you're referring to as a 'house lizard', most likely you mean either a Green Anole (Anolis carolinensis), or a 'House Gecko' which is a common name for the entire genus Hemidactylus.
Anolis acutus was created in 1856.
Hogna carolinensis was created in 1805.
Gastrophryne carolinensis was created in 1835.
Massarina carolinensis was created in 1996.
Half of all anole species are found in North, Central, and South America. (Only one species is native to North America--Anolis carolinensis, the green anole). There are also anole species in African and Asia. Most anoles live in forested areas.
