Podarcis taurica thasopulae Welch 1983

Remarks: Previously included ionicus. Schmidtler (2022) pointed out that the correct author of tauricus is Georgi (1802), not Pallas (1814), as seen in most previous publications. Kukushkin, Tillack, Doronin, Kluge & Jablonski (2024) reviewed the complicated nomenclatural history of the species and suggested to continue to regard Pallas (1814) as the author, pending their application to the International Commission of Zoological Nomenclature for conservation of this status. These authors are provisionally followed herein.
