Distribution	Croatia (mountains at the south), Hercegovina, Montenegro Type locality: Mount Mosor, Dalmatia.
Reproduction	oviparous
Types	Syntypes: NMW 16090:1,2
Diagnosis	Diagnosis (genus): Lizards possessing the following features found only in a minority of other Lacertini: head and body very strongly depressed, usual number of presacral vertebrae 25–26 in males, median loop of clavicle often interrupted posteriorly, rostral scale usually contacting frontonasal scale, sometimes five upper labial scales in front of subocular, embryos partly developed at egg-laying. Other more widely distributed features include: supraocular osteoderms fenestrated in adults, nine premaxillary teeth in adults, inscriptional ribs usually absent, tail often brightly coloured in hatchlings, hemipenial microornamentation of crown-shaped tubercles (from Arnold et al. 2007: 42).
Comment	Type Species: Lacerta mosorensis Kolombatovic, 1886 is the type species of the genus Dinarolacerta ARNOLD et al. 2007. Phylogenetics: Strachinis et al. 2021 found that Dinarolacerta nests within Algyroides, although they found that their results are “too soon to make any safe conclusions” about synonymization. Distribution: not in Albania; the Albanian population (Petrov 2006) has been redescribed as D. montenegrina LJUBISAVLJEVIC et al. 2007 (Mizsei et al. 2017).
Etymology	Named after the type locality.
