Description
Geographic range
A. ocellata is distributed from Costa Rica to Ecuador.[3]
Habitat and behavior
A. ocellata is rather unusual for a lizard in that it has frequently been found in, or close to, bromeliads. Thus its habits are considered arboreal, which would account for its scarceness.[3]
