Notes

Parthenogenetic species, D. armeniaca , originated as a result of the interspecific hybridisation between bisexual species D. valentini ( “paternal”) and D. mixta ( “maternal”) ( Darevsky 1967, Murphy et al. 2000). However, there is a hypothesis that D. armeniaca might be a descendant of the hybridisation between D. valentini males and parthenogenetic D. dahli ( Tarkhnishvili et al. 2017). Darevskia armeniaca identification from different SZs was performed in different years by different authors using allozyme loci, mt-DNA, multilocus DNA fingerprinting, mini- and micro-satellite markers and morphological features ( Darevsky 1966, Darevsky 1967, Darevsky and Danielyan 1968, Uzzell and Darevsky 1975, Tokarskaya et al. 2001, Malysheva et al. 2007a, Malysheva et al. 2007b, Martirosian et al. 2003, Petrosyan et al. 2003). In the field, D. armeniaca was identified using species identification guides ( Darevsky 1967, Arakelyan et al. 2011) (Fig. 3 ), since it has previously been shown that identification, based on visual observation, did not cause confusion between species ( Petrosyan et al. 2019a, Petrosyan et al. 2019b). During our field surveys, we captured and identified 42 individuals in 24 SZs. All individuals were found to be females, determined by visual inspection of the genitals.

Darevskia armeniaca is widespread in the Transcaucasus in the north-west of Armenia, in the western part of Azerbaijan, in the south of Georgia and in the north-eastern part of Turkey ( Petrosyan et al. 2019a, Petrosyan et al. 2019b). Species were identified in 24 (20%) SZs of 121 examined sites. In the study region, eight zones of co-existence with the “paternal” species D. valentini were revealed. The numbers of SZs, where there was сo-existence with other parthenogenetic species D. dahli , D. unisexualis and D. rostombekowi , were eleven, four and five, respectively. Hybrid individuals of D. valentini x D. armeniaca were found in three SZs (Lchashen, Kuchak and Tezh), which were previously stated in literature ( Danielyan et al. 2008, Carretero et al. 2018). Our data showed that the identified SZs are located in diverse habitats, such as outcrops of rocks, large stones and clay rocks in mountain steppes, mountain meadows, mountain forests and urbanised biotopes of central and eastern parts of Armenia and southern Georgia (Fig. 1 ).

Figure 3. Distinguishing characters of D. armeniaca. A. Between the central temporal and tympanum shields are two scales of similar sizes or the central temporal shield touches the tympanic scale (indicated by arrow). B. In front of the large anal shield, there are one or two enlarged pre-anal scales of different size than the other pre-anals (indicated by arrow). Photos by I. Kropachev.
