In the present study, bilateral tail bifurcation was observed in male specimens belonging to Darevskia clarkorum and Darevskia rudis in the Eastern Black Sea Region of Turkey. In the specimen of D. clarkorum, SVL and TL are 55.37 mm and 66.43 mm, respectively. Bifurcation from the base of the tail occurred at 42.82 mm. The regenerated tail is 8.45 mm. SVL and TL are 83.56 mm and 128.93 mm, respectively in the specimen of D. rudis. Bifurcation from the base of the tail occurred at 33.38 mm. The length of the regenerated tail is 46.77 mm.

Bu çalışmada, Türkiye’nin Doğu Karadeniz Bölgesi’nde Darevskia clarkorum ve Darevskia rudis türlerine ait erkek bireylerde ikili kuyruk çatallanması gözlenmiştir. D. clarkorum örneğinde, SVL ve TL sırasıyla 55,37 ve 66,43 mm’dir. Kuyruk tabanından çatallanma 42,82 mm’de meydana gelmiştir. Rejenere kuyruk 8,45 mm uzunluğundadır. D. rudis örneğinde, SVL ve TL sırasıyla 83,56 ve 128,93 mm’dir. Kuyruk tabanından çatallanma 33,38 mm’de meydana gelmiştir. Rejenere kuyruk ise 46,77 mm uzunluğundadır. CR - Alibardi, L. (2010).
