- Abstract
An unusual colour and pattern variation recorded in female of Lacerta agilis Linnaeus, 1758 is reported from Slovakia. The individual was examined and its coloration was compared with published data. According to these data the individual was classified as a case similar to aberration punctato-lineata that was so far known in eastern subspecies L. a. exigua Eichwald, 1831. Such classification of morphs/aberrations in high polymorphic species is, however, questionable and should be taken with caution. Possible causes of this rare colour and pattern variation are discussed.
