FIGURE 3 in Morphological and genetic data challenge species and subspecies in the Lerista microtis group (Squamata: Scincidae)

FIGURE 3. Geographical distribution of the characters states proposed by Storr (1991a) to diagnose Lerista microtis subspecies and L. arenicola. There is geographic predictability for some phenotypes (e.g., width of mid-lateral and upper lateral stripe), but less so for others (e.g., dorsal patterning). Arrows denote specimens from inlands. White points in the SVL map are juvenile specimens, which were removed from morphological analyses.
