Distribution record of Sarada deccanensis (jerdon, 1870) from samda reservoir, Daryapur, Amravati district, Maharashtra, India
Rajmeher Nishane, Amey Thakare and Darshan Dudhane
A five-year survey was conducted near Samda Reservoir, Daryapur, Amravati District, Maharashtra to record the presence of the Deccan fan-throated lizard Sarada deccanensis. Two individuals, a male and a female, were first sighted on 28 June 2020, with subsequent regular observations until the most recent record on 28 June 2025. These findings represent the first documented occurrence of the species in the locality. This new distributional record extends the known range of S. deccanensis into the Vidarbha region of Maharashtra and underscores the importance of systematic, long-term faunal documentation around semi-arid reservoir habitats.
