Darevskia spitzenbergerae ( Eiselt, Darevsky & Schmidtler, 1992) stat. nov.

( Fig. 12g View FIGURE 12 ). Type Locality: Mergan Plateau , Cilo Mountain, Hakkari, Turkey .

Distribution: It is known from only two locations: Mergan Plateau, Hakkari, Turkey and Narlıca Valley, Van, Turkey (this study).

Comments: It includes one of the subspecies of D. valentini previously described and a population from Narlıca Valley (called the New Clade A in Candan et al. 2021). Since they are morphologically distinct and D. s. spitzenbergerae s tat. et comb. nov. is so singular in pattern, we think it may be subspecifically different.

Clade A is described as subspecies of Darevskia spitzenbergerae s tat. nov.
