Abstract

We reconsidered the taxonomy of lizards in Korea on the basis of morphological characters of collected specimens and previously published data. A total of 138 specimens were used in this study, which were collected from April 1996 to October 2005, From the observations, we presented keys to classify Korean lizards. Also, we indicated sampling sites for each species on the Korean map. In addition, we added some remarks on the distribution of Gekko japonicus, the study of genus Scincella and the synonym of genus Takydromus. Especially, it was uncertain whether the southern Korean Peninsula is a natural habitat of Takydromus tachydromoides oldi which will be necessary in further study.

한반도 도마뱀류의 지리적 분포와 분류학적 현황을 발표된 자료와 채집된 표본을 이용하여 재고찰하였다. 1996년 4월부터 2005년 10월 사이에 채집된 총 138 개체의 형태학적 특성에 근거하여, 한반도 도마뱀류의 목록표와 종검색표를 제시하였다. 또한 각 종의 채집지를 한반도 지도에 표기하였다. 추가적으로 도마뱀부치(Gekko japonicus)의 분포, 도마뱀속(genus Scincella)의 연구, 장지뱀속(genus Takydromus)의 동종이명(synonym)에 대한 견해를 밝혔다. 특히 한반도산 올디장지뱀(Takydromus tachydromoides oldi)의 서식 여부에 대해서는 추가적인 연구가 필요하다고 본다.
