Contents:
2 species, of which none are endemic.
Endemism: 0%  100%
Remarks:
Previously regarded as a synonym or subgenus of
Lacerta. Revalidated as a separate genus by Mayer & Bischoff (1996). Some authors prefer to retain Zootoca as a subgenus of
Lacerta (e.g., Sindaco & Jeremchenko 2008).

Zootoca carniolica Cornetti, Belluardo, Ghielmi, Giovine, Ficetola, Bertorelle, Vernesi & Hauffe 2015 |
Remarks:
Previously regarded as a subspecies of vivipara.
Cornetti, Ficetola, Hoban & Vernesi (2015) suggested that carniolica might deserve status as a separate species, but made no formal taxonomic changes.
Treated as a separate species by most recent works
(e.g., Cornetti, Belluardo, Ghielmi, Giovine, Ficetola, Bertorelle, Vernesi & Hauffe 2015;
Speybroeck, Beukema, Dufresnes, Fritz, Jablonski, Lymberakis, Martínez-Solano, Razzetti, Vamberger, Vences, Vörös & Crochet 2020).

Remarks:
Previously included carniolica.
The first decriber of this species was previously believed to be Jacquin (1787), but Schmidtler & Böhme (2011) demonstrated that it is in fact Liechtenstein (1823).
This discovery potentially endangered the stability of the name Lacerta vivipara which is conserved herein in the interest of taxonomic stability,
following Schmidtler & Böhme (2011), in spite of the fact that several other names has nomenclatural priority over vivipara.
