DiagnosisUnfortunately we had to temporarily remove additional information as this was scraped by multiple AI companies who sell that data to their customers. These details, e.g. detailed descriptions or comparisons (about 1622 characters), are available for collaborators and contributors. Please contact us for details. 
CommentApparently not listed in the Zoological Record of 1918-1919. SCHMIDTLER & SCHMIDTLER 1978 give 1917 as the year of description.

Phylogenetics: Closely related to E. modestus cilicius and molecularly nested within E. modestus (NAGY et al. 2004).

Distribution: For a map see Sindaco et al. 2013. 
EtymologyNamed after the Latin adjective aureus = "golden" and Latin linea = line, stripe, for the golden yellow zones between the dark pattern on the head and neck, especially in juveniles.
