Redescription of Lerista cinerea

Combining our morphological and genetic data shows that several populations previously identified as L. storri using the available keys, are more appropriately assigned to L. cinerea . However, morphological variation within these populations is greater than recognised by Greer et al. (1983) when they described the species and their diagnosis and keys will no longer diagnose our expanded concept of L. cinerea . To rectify this, we provide a redescription of L. cinerea .
