| LACERTIDAE: Meroles (1329 words) |
| Formerly considered the separate species Aporosaurus anchietae, this species was assigned instead to the Meroles genus in 1989 (see the EMBL database entry for details). |
| Juveniles are dorsally pale yellow-white with four fl stripes and a fl network enclosing large pale spots on the limbs. |
| As the young take up to three years to mature, this would imply that Meroles suborbitalis is a more long-lived animal than some of the other smaller lacertids. |
