Sand Racerunner: Eremias scripta (Strauch 1867) View in CoL (Lacertidae) ( Plate 19) *Regional range extension
A widely, although patchily, distributed species found throughout Central Asia, western China, Iran, and Pakistan. It is rare within our study area, having been recorded a total of four times. It appears to inhabit similar habitats to E. lineolata and E. grammica , being found locally within well-vegetated sand dune fields. While E. scripta has been noted as occurring at Lake Tudakul (BirdLife International 2016d), our records of this species in the northern steppe and Uchkuduk areas represent regional range extensions to its known distribution, with none of our consulted sources noting its occurrence in these areas of central Uzbekistan.
