Dinarolacerta montenegrina

Dinarolacerta montenegrina, or Prokletije rock lizard, is a species of lizard in the family Lacertidae. It is found in Montenegro and Albania.[2] It was first described in 2007.[3] It differs genetically and morphologically from the most closely related species, Dinarolacerta mosorensis: in the exterior morphology, it is smaller; it has only one postnasal scale on one or both sides of its head; it has fewer temporal and postocular scales.[3] The skeleton differs from D. mosorensis by its reduced supraocular osteoderms and the absence of an anteromedial process on the postocular bone.[3]
