FIGURE 1 in Morphological and genetic data challenge species and subspecies in the Lerista microtis group (Squamata: Scincidae)

FIGURE 1. Distribution of currently recognized Lerista microtis subspecies and Lerista arenicola. Taxon assignment reflects that of the original museum records and the purported distribution as described in the literature (e.g., Storr 1991a; Wilson & Swan 2021). Note that all confirmed records of L. m. schwaneri are confined to islands near the SA mainland. Photographs of live specimens as follows: L. m. microtis (green)—Anders Zimny; L. m. intermedia (blue)—Jordan Vos; Lerista arenicola (red)— Brad Maryan; L. m. schwaneri (yellow)—Trevor Peters. Record colours are made slightly transparent to show overlapping records better, with more saturated colours indicating greater density of records.
