Darevskia Arribas (type species: Lacerta saxicola Eversmann 1834) |
Contents:
43 species, of which 20 (46.5%) are endemic.
Endemism: 0%  100%
Remarks:
The species of this genus were previously included in
Lacerta
or
Archaeolacerta
(e.g.; Arnold 1989).
Some authors prefer to regard it as a subgenus of
Lacerta
(e.g., Sindaco & Jeremchenko 2008).
Arribas (2016) showed the nominal genus name Caucasilacerta Harris, Arnold & Thomas 1998 to be a nomen nudum, hence unavailable, however, this was
contested by Busack, Salvador, Bauer & Kaiser (2016), who considered Caucasilacerta to be the valid name for the genus.
General consensus seems to accept Darevskia as the valid name for the genus, which is therefore retained herein.

Remarks:
Regarded as a synonym of clarkorum by Schmidtler, Heckes, Bischoff & Franzen (2002), but as a valid species by Arribas, Candan, Kumluta & Ilgaz (2021).
However, dryada has now been restricted to its type locality in Georgia.
Turkish records of dryada refer to clarkorum.
The taxonomic status of dryada needs further study, as it probably should be regarded as a subspecies of clarkorum (Arribas, Candan, Kumluta & Ilgaz 2021).

Darevskia praticola loriensis Tuniyev, Doronin, Tuniyev, Aghasyan, Kidov & Aghasyan |
Remarks:
Previously included the Balkan populations referred to herein as hungarica (above).
The Balkan populations were given species status under the name pontica by Tuniyev, Doronin, Kidov & Tuniyev (2011), although suggested already
by other authors (e.g., Stugren 1961; Bischoff 1976).
Tuniyev & al. (2011) included both the Balkan and the northwestern Caucasian populations under pontica.
However, the northwestern Caucasian population (including the type locality of pontica), were shown to be conspecific with praticola (in the restricted
sense, i.e. the eastern Caucasian and the Transcaucasian populations) by Freitas, Vavakou, Arakelyan, Drovetski, Crnobrnja-Isailovic, Kidov, Cogalniceanu, Corti,
Lymberakis, Harris & Carretero (2016), thus transferring pontica to the synonymy of praticola.
The next available name for the Balkan population was hungarica.
The latter authors did not specifically accept species status for the Balkan population, but the species status is retained herein, following
Tuniyev, Doronin, Kidov & Tuniyev (2011), but with the northwestern Caucasian population transferred to praticola, following Freitas & al. (2016).
