Özet
Darevskia parvula is a rock lizard that is endemic for Anatolia. The known distribution range of the species is limited on eastern and northeastern Anatolia. Although many morphological studies have been carried out on the species, there are also molecular studies to construct its taxonomy in recent years. Four adult lizard specimens were collected from eastern Anatolia in 2016 during a herpetological field survey. We present a summary of a morphological features, and report new locality which is the westernmost record (Çayırlı Village, Erzincan) for D. parvula sensu lato in Turkey. Our finding largely extends the known distribution of the species.
