Distributioncoastal Croatia (incl. island of Krk, Pag), Hercegovina, Serbia,
Montenegro, Macedonia, Albania, Greece (Limnos, Lesbos, Chios, Samos), Bulgaria, Turkey, Cyprus,
Soviet Union (Caucasus), S Russia, Armenia, Republic of Georgia, Azerbaijan, Syria, Iraq

albitemporalis: Azerbaijan; type locality: “6 km west of Lenkoran, South-Eastern Azerbaijan”

dahlii: Croatia, Montenegro, Bulgaria (etc.), Greece (incl. Corfu = Corfou, Samos), Lebanon

kalymnensis: Greece (Kalymnos); type locality: “SW-Kalymnos, süd!. des Klosters Agios Ekaterinis, ca. 150 m NN”.

Type locality: Baku, Azerbaijan  
Reproductionoviparous 
TypesHolotype: nondesignated, location unknown (Wallach et al. 2014: 566)
Holotype. ZISP (also as ZIL) 20305, V. Dmitriev, May 2, 1991; adult male. [albitemporalis]
Holotype: ZFMK 24939 (given as 24933 in original description), female, leg. B. Schneider, 2. 8. 1977. [kalymnensis]
Holotype: lost, was NMW, destroyed in WW II [dahlii] 
Diagnosis 
CommentSynonymy: Coluber najadum kalymnensis is a melanistic variety and therefore of questionable validity. Baran 1976 and subsequent authors (e.g. Darevsky & Szczerbak 1993) considered dahlii as a synonym of najadum. However, more recent authors considered dahlii as valid.

Subspecies: P. n. atayevi and P. n. schmidtleri have been elevated to full species status. Baran 1976 considered dahlii as a synonym of najadum but most recent authors accepted dahlii.

Distribution: Older records from Israel, Jordan, and Lebanon may be in fact P. collaris. See also map in SCHÄTTI et al. 2014: 375. Distribution not corrected for removal of atayevi and schmidtleri. For a map see Sindaco et al. 2013. 
EtymologyPlatyceps najadum schmidtleri has been named after Josef F. Schmidtler (1942-), German naturalist.
