Description

34. Lacerta dryada DAREVSKY et TUNIYEV (1997: 1)

Holotype: CNR 1103 (7), now in SNP, adult male, “ Western Georgia, Adzharistan, Khelvachaury district, gorge of Charnali River ”.

Etymology: The species is named after the mythological creature inhabiting trees associated with the Tertiary-relict forests of southern Colchis and having a pronounced arboreal mode of life.

Present name: Darevskia dryada (Darevsky et Tuniyev, 1997) fide Ananjeva et al. (2006). Remark: Schmidtler et al. (2002) treated this name as a junior synonym of Darevskia clarkorum (Darevsky et Vedmederja, 1977). Additional research is required for the clarification of this problem.
