Eremias fasciata Blanford 1874
Description
Eremias fasciata Blanford, 1874
LECTOTYPE. ZMB 9329, designated by Szczerbak (1974).
TYPE LOCALITY. “Karman et Gedrosia” [= Kerman and Baluchistan]; restricted to Saidabad [Zeydabad], SW of Kerman by Smith (1935), but later Szczerbak (1974) designated a lectotype from Kerman, although elsewhere in his paper (p. 245) he still gives Saidabad as the type locality.
DISTRIBUTION. E Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan.
DISTRIBUTION IN IRAN. Fig. 92. All provinces east of the 55° meridian and south of the Kopet Dagh. The record by Mozaffari & Parham (2007) from Esfahan Prov. and that in the Vienna museum (NHMW 36761) from Kashan are dubious. More plausibly they could be a misidentified E. andersoni distributed in the area and having the same dorsal colour pattern of alternating dark and light longitudinal stripes.
HABITAT. Sandy or gravelly plains or silty alluvia with scattered steppe shrubby vegetation (Acacia, Alhagi, Artemisia, Tamarix) under which these lizards seek refuge.
