Darevskia defilippii (Camerano, 1877)
SYNTYPES. MZUT R2713 (3 spec.), MZUT R2734 (3 spec.).
TYPE LOCALITY. Lar Valley, Damavand, Mazandaran Prov., Iran.
DISTRIBUTION. Endemic to Iran.
DISTRIBUTION IN IRAN. Fig. 82. Southern coast of the Caspian Sea on both the northern and southern slopes of the Alborz Mountains (Ardabil, Gilan, Zanjan, Qazvin, Mazandaran, and Tehran Prov.).
HABITAT. Hill slopes with loose scree and rocky outcrops and shrubby vegetation. Recorded from up to 3355 m of elevation.
REMARKS. As in the case of D. chlorogaster, the previously known distribution was split up into ranges of four independent and geographically non-overlapping species (D. kopetdaghica, D. schaekeli, D. steineri, and D. defilippii) after the revision of the D. defilippii complex by Ahmadzadeh et al. (2013a).
