Podarcis tauricus species subgroup is a monophyletic group with several cases of hidden diversity.
•
The species delimitation approaches uncovered nine distinct species within the P. tauricus species subgroup.
•
We suggest synonymizing P. g. gaigeae and P. g. weigandi, as well as P. t. tauricus and P. t. thasopulae, respectively.
•
We propose elevating P. t. tauricus and P. g. gaigeae at species level without subspecies division.
•
We nominate distinct Albanian-Greek clade called Podarcis ionicus species complex with five Unconfirmed Candidate Species.
