Blake's anadia
Anadia blakei, also known commonly as Blake's anadia, is an endangered species of lizard in the family Gymnophthalmidae. The species is endemic to Venezuela.
A. blakei is named after American ornithologist Emmet "Bob" Reid Blake (1908–1997).
A. blakei has 28 scales around the body at midbody. It is uniformly brown dorsally, and paler ventrally. The holotype has a snout-to-vent length (SVL) of 9 cm (3.5 in), and a broken, incomplete tail.
A. blakei is found in the Venezuelan state of Sucre.
The preferred natural habitat of A. blakei is forest, at altitudes of 900–1,830 m (2,950–6,000 ft).
A. blakei is oviparous.
A. blakei is considered "Endangered" because of its small geographic range, and because of ongoing habitat loss from agricultural expansion and construction of roads and communication antennae.
