basisOfRecord: HumanObservation  Notes The parthenogenetic lizard  D. rostombekowihas a hybrid origin ( Darevsky 1967, Uzzell and Darevsky 1975). The "maternal" species for  D. rostombekowiis  D. r. raddeiand "paternal" is  D. portschinskii( Darevsky 1967, Uzzell and Darevsky 1975, Murphy et al. 2000, Ryskov et al. 2017). The identification of  Darevskia rostombekowiin SZs was undertaken in different years using allozyme loci, mt-DNA, multilocus DNA fingerprinting, mini- and micro-satellite markers and morphological features ( Darevsky 1967, Uzzell and Darevsky 1975, Macculloch et al. 1997, Fu et al. 2000a, Murphy et al. 2000, Martirosian et al. 2002, Petrosyan et al. 2003, Arakelyan et al. 2011, Ryskov et al. 2017). In the field,  D. rostombekowiwas identified using species identification guides according to Darevsky ( Darevsky 1967) (Fig. 5), since it has previously been shown that identification, based on visual observation, did not cause confusion between the species ( Martirosian et al. 2002, Petrosyan et al. 2003, Arakelyan et al. 2011, Ryskov et al. 2017). We captured and identified 17 individuals in 10 SZs. All individuals were found to be females, determined by visual inspection of the genitals.   Darevskia rostombekowihas a relatively small range, consisting of several different isolated areas within northern Armenia, north-western Azerbaijan, the territory of Nagorno-Karabakh and a small alpine relict isolated area from the main range on the south-eastern coast of Lake Sevan ( Macculloch et al. 1997, Arakelyan et al. 2011).  Darevskia rostombekowihas at least two SZs with both parental species  D. portschinskiiand  D. r. raddeiin the two north-western provinces of Tavush and Lori in Armenia. The number of SZs, where there was co-existence with other parthenogenetic forms of  D. armeniaca,  D. dahliand  D. unisexualis, are four, three and two, respectively. In general, SZs with other species of the genus  Darevskialocated in the forest zone, mountain meadows, mountain steppes and anthropogenic transformed habitats, were identified within the range of the species. 2018-09-07 Captured by noose IEERASBIOINF, REPAMPHRU Osipov F.
