Darevskia — rock lizards one by one
Colour is not identification. Each species opens its own profile. Range only where the profile and map already have a source.

Colour ≠ ID
Rule
Genus
One genus, not one lizard
Darevskia species in this atlas are separate taxa. Colour varies within a species; you cannot split the genus by colour.
The field decision lives on the profile — scalation, habitat, and map only where a source exists. An empty field is a gap, not an invented range. Some records are candidates on the 2026 checklist.
Warning
Colour is not a species name
One Darevskia can be pale or dark. Neighbouring species look close. Do not collapse them into “the rock lizard” by colour. If you are unsure, open several profiles or the lizard ID guide.

FAQ
What people ask about Darevskia
Short answers — the species lives on the profile.
Not with certainty. Colour varies. Use the profile and, if the map is filled, the region.
The list below is the current Darevskia set in the atlas. The number moves with taxonomy — you see what is published.
No. Some are candidates on the 2026 checklist. The profile and checklist status show that — do not mark a candidate as confirmed.
No. The ID guide starts with photo, size, agama, and glass lizard. This page only gathers Darevskia and stresses that colour is not enough.
