Lobe proportions (Fig. 5) The hemipenial lobes can each be divided into two parts : an apical section from the apex to the point where the two lobes meet, and the remaining basal section. The relative lengths of these two parts vary although it is difficult to measure them accurately in the retracted hemipenis. The apical section in the majority of species is only about equal to or distinctly shorter than the basal section.

The apical section in the majority of species is only about equal to or distinctly shorter than the basal section. In Podarcis (excluding L. dugesii) the apical portion is nearly always longer than the basal part and may at times be twice as long. This is true also of Gallotia (although the two sections may be subequal in L. (G.) simonyi), of L. peloponnesiaca, L. [A.) danfordi and to a lesser extent of L. laevis. The lobes are long too in Psammodromus algirns and in this species they are also rather Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original British Museum (Natural History).
