Darevskia derjugini ssp.
Bischoff, W. & Franzen, M. & Schmidtler, J.F. (2005) -
We report on new locality records of Darevskia derjugini from the Turkish Pontus Mountains south of Dereli (Giresun province) and near the monastery of Meryemana (Trabzon province). The record from Giresun province extends the Turkish distribution some 130 km to the west. Examination of comparative material questions the taxonomic status of Darevskia derjugini barani to some degree, since characters separating this taxon from D. d. derjugini appear extremely variable and variation of pholidosis may be correlated with climate.
