Lacerta (genus)
Sand lizard ( Lacerta agilis )
The genus Lacerta, sometimes referred to as collar lizards, formed in their original collection function, the form most grouping with the genuine lizards ( Lacertidae ). It occurs in Europe and the neighboring regions of northwest Africa and the Middle East.
The phylogenetic relationships and taxonomy of the genus Lacerta, but also for the entire family Lacertidae are controversial among experts. Enforced initially has the systematic separation of the genus Podarcis wall lizards as their own. Consequently, then the rest of the collective genus Lacerta must, however, be dissolved, what has now also established in the literature. The group of green lizards remains now only matter in the genus Lacerta s.str.
