Podarcis confusion

by Peter Oefinger - 14/2/2010 11h55

Hi,
there seems to be some confusion with the Podarcis pictures in the species list of this site:
- The first picture of P. waglerianus should be P. siculus.
- The first three pictures of P. tiliguerta show P. siculus as well.
- Page 2 of P. siculus: The adult specimen of Sardinia is P. tiliguerta.

I'm not 100% sure but maybe anone can check this...
Regards
Peter

I agree on all accounts.

Interesting are those misidentified tili's: they clearly look like ssp. campestris. Or might the place of origin of these shots also be erroneous?

And what about the P.siculus from Garda, Italy (p3 of P.siculus) ? I saw muralis that looked just like that.

I also agree with Jan: surely muralis. Also all Menorcan ones by Bobby Bok are of course juvenile and not adult.

So next mistake:
this photo http://www.euroherp.com/Resources/Trips/up/604-1245705924.jpg on second page of T. graeca gallery ( http://www.euroherp.com/species/Testudo_graeca/2/ ) is T. hermanni.

And more...

Triturus marmoratus p. 4 - Lagoa Comprida is in Portugal, not in Spain.

The Romanian Bombina's seem to contain quite a few deal of hybrids, imho...

There's a Lacerta agilis on p. 4 of Bombina variegata

Where it says "Switzerland" on p.4 of Bufo calamita, it should say "Spain".

If you consider jeanneae as a subspecies of galganoi, I think you should change the common name of Discoglossus galganoi to "Iberian Painted Frog".

Although a very rare and abnormal colouration, I seem to remember that Wouter's tree frog (p. 7 of Hyla arborea) was conclusively identified as being meridionalis.

((D., if you want to set up some sort of structural quality control, I'd be happy to help.))

Still seem to be around, those mistakes, or is it some sort of cache refresh that I should perform?

Not all my Minorcan P. siculus are juvenile, the top picture of the green animal is surely an adult.
