Abstract: | The lizard Lactera danfordi had been reported from Petra (Jordan) and Mt. Hermon. Examination of recent taxonomic literature and 266 specimens of the L. danfordi, L. laevis complex from Turkey, Cyprus, Lebanon, Israel and Jordan shows that the populations concerned belong to L. laevis. Characterized by lacking a masseteric plate, this disjunctly distributed morph may be referred to as L. laevis cf. kulzeri Mueller and Wettstein, 1932. |
