In some respects approaching L. viridis. Thus, as a rule, the 

 dorsal scales are more distinctly keeled and the occipital shield 

 smaller, viz. as broad as or a little narrower than the frontal. 

 Ventrals in 8 longitudinal series. 74 to 80 scales across the 

 middle of the body. Femoral pores 12 to 16. Bluish ocelli, 

 usually present in the young, are frequently absent in the adult, 

 which are green, dotted or reticulated with black or with black 

 rings ; some young uniform green. 



In some Spanish specimens the occipital is qiute of the same size 

 as in " L. j)((ter,^' and also the other characters given as distinctive 

 are by no means constant : therefore the Algero-Tunisian form can, 

 in my opinion, not be specifically separated from the European.
