Heads up: Some or all of the identifications affected by this split may have been replaced with identifications of Podarcis. This happens when we can't automatically assign an identification to one of the output taxa. Review identifications of Podarcis hispanicus 73915

Taxonomic Split 9910 (Committed on 2014-12-15)

In this latest revision (which The Reptile Database, iNaturalist's source for global reptiles, has now accepted), Podarcis hispanicus, a species long known to have several significantly different groups, has been split into Podarcis guadarramae (Podarcis guadarramae guadarramae and Podarcis guadarramae lusitanicus), Podarcis virescens and a new concept of Podarcis hispanicus, which now only applied to the type that occurs in the Spanish Levant. Previous splits had already removed Podarcis vaucheri and Podarcis liolepis (although iNats range map remained unchanged). I couldn't find a single reference in The Reptile Database that referred to the taxonomic change, just pages for each species, so I added the original article as the source.
Taxon pages for each taxa (they haven't updated Podarcis hispanicus yet):
