55 Zootoca vivipara View in CoL - Authorship according to Schmidtler & Böhme (2011). The phylogeographic study by Horreo et al. (2018) seems not to support the current infraspecific taxonomy. The authors identified six clades of Zootoca (one of which is currently Z. carniolica ); the Italian populations belong to the clade E, while the type locality is inhabited by the clade C. Waiting for further studies resolving the complicated relationships of the subspecies we do not adopt any subspecific name for the Italian populations.
