DistributionTurkey (SW Anatolian Peninsula south to the Büyük Menderes River, east to Çobanisa/Isparta), Greece (incl. Rhodes, Symi, Kasos)

Type locality: “Hafenmauer der Stadt Rhodos, Insel Rhodos”

budaki: Turkey; Type locality: 5 km N Cobanisa (= 25 km NE Elmali), Vilayet Antalya, Türkei, ca. 1200 m elevation.  
Reproductionoviparous (not imputed, fide Zimin et al. 2022) 
TypesHolotype: SMF 55228, male
Holotype: NMW 26751; Paratypes: ZSM 54/1983, female, BMNH, GNM, NMW, ZDEU, ZFMK [budaki] 
DiagnosisDiagnosis: “Unterscheidet sich von der östlich angrenzenden budaki sspec. nov. u. a. durch die höheren Werte bei den Temporalia und Femoralporen sowie durch die Tendenz, nur eine helle vertebrale Tüpfel-Längsreihe im Jugendkleid auszuprägen; von der südöstlich angrenzenden finikensis sspec. nov. u. a. durch das längere 1. Supratemporale, durch die eben erwähnte vertebrale Tüpfelung und die besonders juvenil dorsale Längsstreifung; Unterschiede zur Nominatrasse siehe bei dieser (Neufassung, vgl. Tabelle 3, Taf. 2: 1-3).” (Eiselt & Schmidtler 1987: 313). 
CommentSynonymy: after BELLATI et al. 2014 and Karakasi et al. 2021. The name Anatololacerta oertzeni quandttaylori was used by BELLATI et al. 2014 although these authors concluded that it shouldd be included in Anatololacerta pelasgiana. Specimens of the type-locality of A. budaki (2.5 km N Çobanisa) are assigned genetically to A. pelasgiana. Therefore, the name A. budaki should be synonymized with A. pelasgiana (Karakasi et al. 2021).

The Zoological Record doesn’t list Lacerta oertzeni WERNER, 1904 (at least not in the years of or around 1904). See BAUER & GÜNTHER 1995 for more details on the types. The status of Lacerta danfordi pentanisiensis WETTSTEIN 1964 is still unclear but likely belongs to A. pelasgiana (BELLATI et al. 2014).
