The Italian wall lizard and the Balkan wall lizard have a series of taxonomic revisions. However, their phylogenetic relationships still remain uncertain in Turkey. In the present study, we have assessed taxonomic relationships, both of Podarcis siculus and Podarcis tauricus through estimation of phylogenetic relationships among 43 and 42 specimens, respectively, using mtDNA (16 S rRNA and cytb) from great main populations in Turkey. The genetic distances among the populations of P. siculus in Turkey were very low and they were ranged from 0.2 to 1.6% in 16 S rRNA while they were ranged from 0.0% to 3.3% in cytb. On the other hand, the p-distances among the populations of P. tauricus were ranged from 0.0 to 0.6% in 16 S rRNA while they were 0.2% cytb in Turkey. Finally, most of the topologically identical trees of phylogenetic analyses and p-distances showed that monophyly was found in extant populations of P. siculus and P. tauricus. The nominate subspecies, P. s. siculus and P. t. tauricus are representatives of these lizards in Turkey.
意大利壁蜥和巴尔干壁蜥经历了一系列分类学修订。然而，在土耳其，它们的系统发育关系仍然不确定。在本研究中，我们通过分别对来自土耳其主要种群的43个和42个样本进行系统发育关系估计，利用线粒体DNA（16S rRNA和细胞色素b）评估了意大利壁蜥（Podarcis siculus）和巴尔干壁蜥（Podarcis tauricus）的分类关系。土耳其境内意大利壁蜥种群之间的遗传距离非常低，在16S rRNA中为0.2%至1.6%，而在细胞色素b中为0.0%至3.3%。另一方面，巴尔干壁蜥种群在16S rRNA中的p距离为0.0%至0.6%，而在土耳其细胞色素b中为0.2%。最后，系统发育分析和p距离的大多数拓扑相同的树表明，现存的意大利壁蜥和巴尔干壁蜥种群存在单系性。指名亚种，即意大利壁蜥指名亚种（P. s. siculus）和巴尔干壁蜥指名亚种（P. t. tauricus）是土耳其这些蜥蜴的代表。
