Hosseinian Yousefkhani, S.S. & Mohammadpour, A. & Eskandarzadeh, N. (2012) -
Während der letzten herpetologischen Exkursion (Juni 2012) wurde ein neues Vorkommen von Iranolacerta brandtii brandtii (de Filippi, 1863) 40 km nördlich von Varzeghan in der iranischen Provinz Ost-Aserbaidschan gefunden. Zwei Exemplare wurden gesammelt und in der Zoologischen Sammlung der Madani Universität unter den Nummern A49 und A50 hinterlegt. Es wird der Lebensraum sowie 20 metrische und meristische Befunde der beiden Exemplare beschrieben.

During our long-term fieldwork on the Iranian plateau in 2000 and 2002, we collected and examined a series of lacertid lizards, belonging to the genus Lacerta from various parts of the Zagros Mountains of western and southwestern Iran, from a morphological point of view. Based on the collected material, two new taxa are described: Lacerta yassujica sp.n. and Lacerta brandtii esfahanica ssp.n. Based on all the available evidence, L. yassujica is closely related to Lacerta (Apathya) cappadocica. A short account on taxonomy and biogeography of the studied taxa is given.

Vom 22. April bis zum 7. Mai 2016 führte uns eine herpetologische Exkursion in den nordwestlichen Iran. Die Route führte von Teheran über Isfahan, Chelgerd, Kuhdasht, Kermanshah, Marivan, Täbriz, Zanjan und Manjil wieder nach Teheran. Im ersten Teil wird über unsere Reptilien- und Amphibienfunde im Zagros-Gebirge berichtet.

An updated checklist of the herpetofauna of Iran is presented based on records of amphibian and reptile species whose presence has been confirmed in Iran as a result of extensive field expeditions, examination of herpetological collections, literature review, and personal communications from researchers. The herpetofauna of Iran consists of 13 species and five subspecies of frogs and toads belonging to five genera and four families, eight species of salamanders belonging to four genera and two families, nine species and six subspecies of turtles, terrapins and tortoises belonging to nine genera and six families, one species of crocodile, one species of amphisbaenian, more than 125 species of lizards belonging to 36 genera and eight families as well as 79 species of snakes belonging to 37 genera and six families

We present a comprehensive summary of the distribution of the lizards of Iran accompanied by an annotated checklist. The updated maps of distribution of all 146 species of 41 genera of 11 families are based on all available bibliographic records, catalogues of museum collections and our own field observations. The final dataset used for the distribution maps contains 8525 georeferenced records and cover 41% of the country when plotted on a grid of 0.25° × 0.25° resolution. The dataset is publicly accessible through GBIF portal (http://www.gbif.org/dataset/7db4f705-61ae-4c6e-9de2-06674e7d46b2). Following the latest biogeographic division of the country, ~53% of the species (76 species) inhabit the Iranian Province, ~41% (60 species) the Western Asian mountain transition zone, ~9% (13 species) the Turanian Province, and ~18% (27 species) the Arabian Province. In addition, ~2% (3 species) reach Iran from the Indo-Malay biogeographic region and ~2% (3 species) are believed to have been introduced to Iran by humans. Endemic species (46) represent ~32% of the known species diversity. The most species-rich family of lizards in Iran is Lacertidae with 47 species, followed by Gekkonidae (41), Agamidae (18), Scincidae (15), Phyllodactylidae (10), Sphaerodactylidae (4), Eublepharidae and Uromastycidae (3), Anguidae and Varanidae (2), and Trogonophidae with one representative.
