Description of Lacerta sicula paulae n. subsp. from the islet S. Ianni (about 3 km south of Maratea; Lucania; ltaly; Tyrrhenian Sea), a blue-bellied melanistic lizard very similar to the famous L. s. coerulea living on the Faraglioni rocks close to Capri. L. s. paulae is distinguished from L. s. coerulea by having a smaller size (maximum head and body length of 71 mm instead of 87), no scutum massetericum and a lighter dorsal ground colour.
