  Aufgrund der Untersuchungsergebnisse zur geographischen Variabilität (Pholidose und Biometrie) der in den Pyrenäen endemischen Lacerta bonnali LANTZ, 1927 wird eine neue Unterart (Lacerta bonnali aranica) dieser Eidechse mit Vorkommen in Vall d´Aràn und Pallars beschrieben.

  Sechs nominelle Taxa (`Lacerta` monücola cantabrica, `L. ` monticola monücola, `L. ` aranica, `L. ` aurelioi, `L. ` bonnali, `L. ` cyreni) der Iberisch-Pyrenäischen Gebirgseidechsen wurden mittels Allozym- Elektrophorese hinsichtlich 15 enzymatischer Loci untersucht; `L.` horvalhi wurde als Outgroup fiir die phylo- genetische Analyse verwendet. Nach unseren Ergebnissen, die völlig mit karyologischen Befunden übereinstimmen (ODIERNA & al. im Druck a, b), können fünf Taxa, die wir als Arten auflassen ( T . ` monticola, `L. ` aranica, `L. ` aurelioi, `L. ` bonnali, `L. ` cyreni), unterschieden werden.

  Parts of the mitochondrial genes coding for 12SrRNA and 16SrRNA (together about 960 bp) were sequenced for all Mediterranean species of `Mountain lizards` of the genera Archaeolacerta (sensu lato) and Iberolacerta. All subspecies of the Iberian species Iberolacerta cyreni and I. monticola were included in this study. In addition, samples of Apathya cappadocica and Darevskia rudis were analysed to elucidate the relationships of the European `Mountain lizards` to their possible relatives in the Near East. Maximum parsimony and neighbour joining analyses lead to the following major conclusions: (i) the monophyly of the genus Iberolacerta is very well supported; (ii) Archaeolacerta bedriagae (the type species of the genus) is most basal with respect to the ingroup taxa. If we accept Iberolacerta as a genus, Archaeolacerta becames paraphyletic. Therefore, we propose to restrict Archaeolacerta to the type species and to treat A. mosorensis and A. oxycephala provisionally as members of the collective genus Lacerta; (iii) within the genus Iberolacerta three groups were found: a Pyrenean group, an Iberian group and I. horvathi. The relationships among these groups remain unresolved; and (iv) the Peña de Francia lizards, described originally as a subspecies of I. cyreni, are in fact more closely related to I. monticola.
