Lacertidse. 



the green dorsal area is much broadened, and such specimens approach, 

 the var. ionica. The lower parts are white, yellow, or deep orange, 

 without spots or with small black spots on the sides ; pale blue spots 

 are present on the outer ventral plates and just above them. The dark 

 and light spots on the tail combine to form a more or less distinct but 

 ill-defined striation. 



In its markings the typical form is often very suggestive of certain 

 specimens of L. viridis (so-called var. hilineata).
