A new locality record for Phoenicolacerta laevis (Gray, 1838)(Squamata: Lacertidae) in western Anatolia

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.
