Intraspecific variability in Iberolacerta cyreni 199 illations; b) to ascertain the taxonomic status of the Bejar populations and to check if these represent a further sub- species; c) to study both the relationships among the sam- ples from the Sierras de Avila (=Parameras) massifs, as well as their similitude and differences with their neigh- bouring and well known populations from Gredos, or the more distant populations from Guadarrama and Bejar; and d) as the type series of /. cyreni was destroyed during the Second World War (SWW), to choose a Neotype for the species (see appendix I) in order to fix unequivocally the type locality (although apparently all lost, there were al- so specimens from Gredos in the original type series). MATERIAL & METHODS Morphology A total of 106/92 male specimens, and 136/135 female specimens of /. cyreni with a complete measurements dataset and snout-vent length greater than 45 mm, were included in the univariate (ANOVA) and multivariate (dis- criminant) analyses, respectively. Given that these popu- lations present sexual dimorphism (Arribas 1996, 1999a; Arribas et al. 2006), analyses were carried out for males and females separately. All material is from Oscar Arribas (OA) database. OTUs names, localities and specimens included in the morphological multivariate analysis were as follows (Fig. 1): GUADARRAMA: Sierra de Guadarrama (Madrid and Segovia provinces, Spain). 25 males and 36 females [/. cyreni cyreni]. MIJARES: Puerto de Mijares (Sierra del. Fig. 1. Schematic representation of the distribution of Ibero- lacerta cyreni in the Spanish Sistema Central.
