Italian Podarcis ID's please

[Mike Richardson]

Hi all

I've recently returned from central Italy and would greatly appreciate some ID confirmation on several Wall Lizards.

The first two I think are Podarcis sicula campestris (Abruzzo National Park).

The others are P. Muralis? (various areas of Umbria).

The weather was pretty poor throughout the trip so not many reptiles were active. Apart from the above I saw Lacerta bilineata. Amphibians seen were Salamandra salamandra, Bufo bufo, Rana bergeri and Rana dalmatina.

Many thanks

Mike

Hi Mike,
the first I guess is P. muralis, the second is P. siculus campestris, the third is P. muralis nigriventis and the fourth should also be P. muralis.
