the distribution of the two Anguis fragilis subspecies in Romania is still mostly unknown. here is what I known at moment about the romanian distribution of subspecies! the Romanian slow-worm was by Kiritescu (1930) and Calinescu (1931) as A. f. fragilis described, but later by Fuhn (1960) and Fuhn & Vancea (1961, see picture at left) as A. f. cochicus rectified. hovever the blue-spotted variation (var. Erix) it was earlier cited from Romania (e.g. from Cluj and Sibiu by Bieltz 1888, from Carpathians by Calinescu 1931, from forelands of Carpathians, in Oltenia by Kiritescu 1930), the presence of variation do not confirm the existence of A. f. colchicus, as the blue spotted variation appear in nominat from too (e.g. Wermuth 1950). according to Stugren et al. (1962) in Romania all the two subspecies occur. Moreover the existence of a form before the time of subspecies splitting in Apuseni Mts. (Bihar Mts.) are suggested. this form is considered a vestige before the (last?) Ice Age, which in postglacial time entered in contact with the typical form, thus the resulted form shows the characteristics of the typical subspecies. in rest of the country, except an unclear determinated contact zone in the midle of Transylvanian Basin, the eastern subspecies, A. f. colchicus was identified, which probably avansed in the area in postglacial time. the result of this process are the presence of the colchicus characteristics on the populations from Bihar Mountains. The presence of the A. f. colchicus from Romania (e.g. Retezat Mountains, Carpathian Corner) is confirmed by Dely (1972, 1974b) also. [literature citations below]

 
if you are intrested in collecting data and sharing with me, you must to record the following data. these data are present on Anguis Data File - for moment just in romanian. the method is constructed in 3 level, which could be an indicator of how much are you involved in this data collection. at first level the lowest data are needed and the time spent in recording the data are the shorter. at next level you must to record more data, including those from the anterior level. even the data of first level comprise enough information which could be use in identification of subspecies (specially because qualitative characters are noted). most of the characters shows a high variance, especially in the contact zone. thus for a precise identification at least 20 specimen are needed from one location. however even a single specimen could be use in delimitation of the areas i.e. the presence of pure form or of contact zone. these data should be use with caution also because lizards with mixed characters could be appear in pure population too. thus these characters could be listed as abnormal characters or whith atavistic origines.

warning! the slow-worm it is a fragile, delicated legless lizard, with capacity of autotomy. sometimes the slow-worm literally broke in your hand. and sometimes only the stress is what starts this phenomen. if you don't have practice in lizards (reptiles), please, let the lizard go!

at first you must to fill up these data: date, your name, locality, county, geographic name

1. level. sex (female: usually with sharp boundary between back and flanks, as gravid usually is easier determined; male: with almost uniform colour between back and flanks, presence of hemipenis, relative bigger head), head-shield pattern (typ A [in picture from Dely 1981 below left], B [in middle], C [right]; if you don't know what to see, take a look on

2. level. contrast beween back and flanks (sharp, transitional, missing), central vertebral line (if exist: continuous or discontinuous, distinct or undistinct), secondary vertebral line (as the central), autotomy (yes or no), wounded (yes or no), snout-venth length (from snout to cloaca), tail length (from cloaca to tip of tail), pileus length (from snouth tip to posterior edge of occipital), mass.

3. level. other infos about the colour and morphologie of the specimens.

biological material. sometimes the slow-worms are killed by locals for its venamous reputation, or are killed accidentaly because of used agricultural methods (e.g. scythe) or by cars. the carcass (if its fresh) could be used in genetical studies or in morphological studies (could be not so fresh...). the genetical probe must be stared in etanol. for morphology the carcass could be stored in any kind of alcohol, if it's enough strong. so if you have the opportunity...

Dely 1966 (Fauna Hungariae) is one of the best illustrated work!

Anguis bibliography

 
dear collegues, I have uploaded here a bibliography of articles made on Anguis fragilis. I am intrested in articles dealing with ecology (especialy thermoecology), morphology (e.g. SSD) and phylogeny (e.g. subspecies distribution) of this species. I have copy of articles were the [copy] signal appear, and if you request someone, I can made for you a photo copy. I am also intrested in the articles, which appear in red, if you can help me...
