  The present results indicate the name of Takydromus stejnegeri in Taiwan should be valid. With another close-related Taiwanese species (Takydromus formosanus), T. stejnegeri is distinct from Takydromus septentrionalis from mainland in the smaller body size but with the more longitudinal rows of dorsals. Takydromus stejnergeri is different from T. formonsanus in the lesser femoral pores and lesser longitudinal rows of dorsals extending to tail area.

  本研究結果顯示Takydromus stejnegeri Van Denburgh應是臺灣産蓬萊草蜥之正確學名。蓬萊草蜥與另一相近種，臺灣草蜥（Takydromus formosanus Boulenger），在身體大小與背鱗縱行列數排列上，不同於大陸産的北草蜥（Takydromus septentrionalis Gunther）。蓬萊草蜥在鼠蹊孔的數目及背鱗縱行延伸到尾巴之列數特徵上，與臺灣草蜥不同。
