1. Lacerta ocellata Daud. (The Ocellated Lizard) = Timon lepidus (ocellated lizard)
The ocellated lizard, eyed lizard, jeweled lacerta or jewelled lizard (Timon lepidus) is a species of lizard in the family Lacertidae (wall lizards). Timon lepidus is one of the largest members of its family. The species is endemic to southwestern Europe. The ocellated lizard gains its common name from the bright blue, eye-like ocelli on the sides of its body.
2. Lacerta viridis Daud. (The Green Lizard) = Lacerta viridis (European green lizard)
The European green lizard (Lacerta viridis) is a large lizard distributed across European midlatitudes from Slovenia and eastern Austria to as far east as the Black Sea coasts of Ukraine and Turkey. It is often seen sunning on rocks or lawns, or sheltering amongst bushes.
3. Lacerta slirpium Daud. = Lacerta agilis (sand lizard)
The sand lizard (Lacerta agilis) is a lacertid lizard distributed across most of Europe from France and across the continent to Lake Baikal in Russia. The sand lizard is a sexually dimorphic legged lizard. In northwest Europe, both sexes are characterised by lateral and dorsal strips of ocellated (eye-shaped) markings, dark patches with pale centres. Colouration varies across their European and Russian range. Males have finer markings than females, and their flanks turn bright green during the spring mating season, fading again in the late summer.
