European Glass Lizard: Pseudopus apodus (Pallas 1775) View in CoL (Anguidae) ( Plate 21 View Plate 21 )
A widespread species found from eastern Europe to eastern Kazakhstan. Within our study area it is known only from three records of live individuals in tall grass meadows in close proximity to streams within the Sarmysh Nature Park, and four dead individuals seen in vil- lages on the outskirts of Sarmysh (two having been hit by vehicles, one being carried in a plastic bag by a local, and one found washed up on the bank of a small river). As with Eumeces schneideri , the species appears to be very localized within our study area, but our low survey effort within the Sarmysh mountains makes it difficult to accurately estimate its relative abundance within its limited range. It has been previously mapped as occurring in our study area ( Bannikov 1971; Sindaco and Jeremcenko 2008; BirdLife International 2016c).
