Lacertidae View in CoL View at ENA ( Figs 30 View Figure 30 , 31A–E View Figure 31 , 36E View Figure 36 )
The basioccipital of lacertids is similar to that of gekkotans (see: Villa et al., 2018a), but in large species it becomes wider than it is long. Sphenooccipital tubercles are moderately developed in small-sized species and well developed in large-sized ones. The degree of development increases during ontogeny. In lateral view, the tubercles are ventrally pointed.
