This find composes the south-easternmost record for the species and extends its range about 80 km. Data based on meristic pholidosis characters, metric measurements and color-patter features of the specimens were given in detail and it was observed that catalca population is similar to D. pontica reported in the literature.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessMeadow lizardReptilia sauriaPatternsMeadow lizardDarevskia ponticaNew locality recordRange extensionTurkeyScience & technologyLife sciences & biomedicineZoologyArticle000466747100001636826210.30906/1026-2296-2019-26-2-63-68
