dc.description.abstractA new subspecies the Acanthodactylus schreiberi, A. s. ataturi n. ssp., is being described from Anatolia which differs from the nominate subspecies A. s. schreiberi Boulenger, 1879 of Cyprus island and A. s. syriacus Böttger, 1878 from Lebanon and Israel. Compared to the later two populations, A. s. ataturi n. spp. is different in having 'half-domes' (protuberant) above the eyes (71.4%), one or two additional small plates between the prefrontals in the majority of examined specimens (73.6%). It is also differs in having no distinctly keeled dorsal and temporal scales, and also the presence of small-sized dorsal maculations (based on the average numbers of scales within dorsal maculations) from A. s. syriacus and A. s. schreiberi, respectively. The obtained electropherograms of the examined blood-serum protein samples showed important qualitative differences between the Cypriot and Anatolian populations; in the Cypriot samples the total protein fraction number was 13-14, while in Anatolian samples the number between 14 and 16, indicating the difference. It is also stressed that the only known biotope of the subspecies in Anatolia is now under grave habitat destruction, which should cease immediately to safeguard the future of the subspecies. © Biharean Biologist, Oradea, Romania, 2012.en_US
