Distance of collected specimens in this study is 800 km far away from the previous reports of this species in Iran in the coastal plain of Fars and Kerman provinces as well as the lower Mesopotamian plain in Khuzestan. Our specimens were collected during night on loose sand among scattered low desert shrubs. New updated distribution map for the species is presented which extends the distribution of this lizard into eastern and southeastern Iran. Morphometrics and morphological characters of the collected specimens along with notes on ecological aspects of the study area are provided.展开更多
