DiagnosisDiagnosis (genus): Possibly the only Lacertini to have the oviducts inserting into the genital sinus near the tips of the lobes. Also possessing the following features found only in a minority of other Lacertini: maxillary-jugal suture often stepped, usual numbers of presacral vertebrae 26–27 in males, sternal fontanelle quite strongly heart-shaped in most cases, pattern of tail vertebrae C-type, nearly always a single postnasal scale, outer edge of parietal scale reaching lateral border of parietal table both posteriorly and anteriorly, sexual dimorphism in dorsal colouring usually marked, with narrow light stripes often present in females, hemipenial lobes long with large outer sulcal lips. Other more widely distributed features include: head and body often not strongly depressed (although exceptions exist), usually seven premaxillary teeth in adults, inscriptional ribs often present, tail occasionally brightly coloured in hatchlings, hemipenial microornamentation of hook-shaped spines (from Arnold et al. 2007: 53). 
CommentSubspecies: ENGELMANN et al 1993 also list Podarcis muralis brueggemanni (BEDRIAGA 1879) and Podarcis muralis paulinii (TADDEI 1953). Henle & Klaver 1986: 288 list a number of subspecies described under L. muralis as subspecies of siculus, e.g. albiventris, elegans, parkeri. Gruschwitz & Böhme 1986 suspect that P. m. kefkenensis is a synonym of P. m. albanica, although the latter is not clearly diagnosable either and may be a synonym itself. P. muralis has high intraspecific genetic diversity but it remains unclear how these clades correspond to described morphological subspecies (see Keroglidou et al. 2024 for a recent analysis).

Distribution: Reports about introductions to Illinois (USA) are erroneous (Elaphe 11 [1]: 11). For a map of P. brongniardii and maculiventris in Germany see Schmidtler in Andrä et al. 2019: 45.

Type species: Seps muralis Laurenti 1768 is the type species of the genus Podarcis WAGLER 1830. Podarcis was treated as subgenus for decades (e.g. Boulenger 1916) but was er in raised to full genus by Arnold 1973. See also Böhme 1984, 1986 and Arnold 1989:246 for details.

Genomics: this is one of the species selected by the Genome 10K consortium for complete genome sequencing. A genome sequence was presented by Andrade et al. 2019.

Nomenclature: BÖHME & KÖHLER (2005) “conclude that the gender of Podarcis must be masculine for the following reasons: (1) WAGLER (1830) did not determine the gender by combination with any species name nor by statement, (2) the name Podarcis is of common variable gender, (3) the Principle of First Reviser does not apply to determination of gender ot names, (4) the Code clearly states that a name of common variable gender is to be treated as masculine. 
EtymologyThe species was named after Latin “muralis”, meaning to live on walls.

The genus has been named after the Greek “podarkes”, meaning fast. For a discussion on the gender of Podarcis see Böhme (1997, 2005).
