Diagnosis 
CommentRelationships: Although Lacerta (Iberolacerta) horvathi is isolated from the other members of the (sub-) genus Iberolacerta geographically, it is more closely related to I. monticola/cyreni than to the other Iberian species (see CROCHET et al. 2004).

Distribution: Engelmann et al. 1993 listed the species for Germany (although they say in the text that this needs verification), but later sources (e.g. SINDACO & JEREMČENKO 2008) do not confirm this. 
EtymologyNamed after Geza Horvath (1847-1937), Hungarian entomologist.
