A New Locality Record For Phoenicolacerta Laevis (Gray, 1838)(Squamata: Lacertidae) In Western Anatolia, Çeti̇n Ilgaz, Yusuf Kumlutaş, Kami̇l Candan
Turkish Journal of Zoology
During fieldwork in western Anatolia 4 specimens (1 adult male, 2 subadult males, and 1 subadult female) of Phoenicolacerta laevis from Dalaman, Muğla Province, were collected in November 2014. The results including meristic pholidolial characteristics, metric measurements, and color-pattern features of specimens are compared with the data given in the previous literature. The occurrence of P. Laevis in southern and western Anatolia is discussed.

New Locality Records Of Eumeces Schneideri (Daudin, 1802) (Sauria: Scincidae) From Western Anatolia, Turkey, Keri̇m Çi̇çek, Oğuzkan Cumhuri̇yet, Yusuf Bayrakci, Di̇nçer Ayaz
Turkish Journal of Zoology
In this study, we report 2 new close localities for Eumeces schneideri from Aydın, western Anatolia, Turkey. The specimens were examined morphologically and compared with the relevant literature. These new localities have filled in the gap in the species' distribution range in western Anatolia, Turkey. According to the morphological results, the female specimens resembled E. S. Barani in terms of the scales along the dorsal midline. However, the color-pattern characteristics of the specimens were found to be somewhere between E. S. Barani and E. S. Princeps; thus, the specimens were accepted as E. S. Cf. Barani.

The Amphibian And Reptile Species Of Kazdağı National Park, Haluk Hür, İsmai̇l Hakki Uğurtaş, Aki̇f İşbi̇li̇r
Turkish Journal of Zoology
The amphibians and reptiles of Kazdağı in western Anatolia were investigated. In the study area, 190 specimens belonging to 34 species from 15 amphibian and reptile families were determined. Three of these species are urodelan, 5 are anurans, 2 are turtles, 1 is a tortoise, 12 are lizards, and 11 are snakes. Rana dalmatina Bonaparte, 1840, Anguis fragilis Linnaeus, 1758, and Podarcis sicula (Rafinesque, 1810) were recorded at Kazdağı for the first time.

On New Populations Of Rana Holtzi And Rana Macrocnemis (Ranidae: Anura), İbrahi̇m Baran, Çeti̇n Ilgaz, Yusuf Kumlutaş, Kurtuluş Olgun, Azi̇z Avci, Fatma İret
Turkish Journal of Zoology
Rana holtzi, which is only known from Karagöl at altitude 2500 m and Çinigöl at altitude 2600 m, was determined from Eğrigöl for the first time at altitude 3000 m. Thus, the distribution range of R. holtzi in the Bolkar Mountains was extended. In addition, specimens of Rana macrocnemis were recorded from Seviçova (2500 m a.s.l.), located in the Bolkar Mountains near Ereğli (Konya), for the first time. Furthermore, the village of Örtülü (Maden, Elazığ), where specimens of Rana macrocnemis were captured, is determined to be southernmost distribution point of R. macrocnemis. Mountain frog specimens captured from new localities were …

On Some Lizard Species Of The Western Taurus Range, Yusuf Kumlutaş, Mehmet Öz, Hakan Durmuş, Mehmet Rizvan Tunç, Adem Özdemi̇r, Serdar Düşen
Turkish Journal of Zoology
A total of 282 specimens belonging to 13 lizard species from the Western Taurus Range were investigated. Morphological and biological data as well as missing pieces of information about the species were sought to be completed with the addition of a large number of new localities. Moreover, the data obtained were compared with those in the relevant literature in an attempt to shed light on the taxonomical status of the species.
