Squamata or scaled Reptiles are the largest order of new Reptiles including Lizards, Snakes and Amphisbaenia. They have formed 95 precent of new Reptiles. Our goal is Lizard Biodiversity of Torbat-e Heydaryeh in Razavi Khorasan Province. The study of Lizards Biodiversity of Torbat-e Heydaryeh in Razavi Khorasan Province was carried out in 2012 until 2013. In this research 132 specimens were collected and observed and identified on the basis of morphological, morphometric and meristic characters. The collected and observated Lizards belonging to 5 families: Agamidae, Lacertidae, Scincidae, Gekkonidae and Varanidae including 8 genera and 12 species. Results showed that Agamidae and Lacertidae families have the most frequency. The Agamidae family has the most genera and Lacertidae family has the most species. laudakia caucasia, laudakia microlepis, Trapelus sanguinolentus and Mesalina watsonana were the dominant species in this region and had a wider distribution rang in coparision with other species.

Abstract Lizards have significant roles in life cycle and are related to humans either directly or indirectly. Identifying of the fauna of a region is the most necessary and the most significant biological and fundamental research in it. Mazandaran Province has diverse biological conditions because of its geographical location and special ecological conditions, the proximity of the sea to the mountains and diverse vegetation. Samples were collected in Mazandaran and bio-systematic study of Cyrtopodionscabrum was manipulated there as well from March, 2012 to June, 2013. The samples were collected by hands or sticks and after being photographed, they were fixed in formalin 4% and ethyl alcohol 75% and were identified using valid sources. Seven samples belonging toCyrtopodionscabrum, including 2 female and 5 male samples, were collected in the current study. Then, morphologic, morphometric and meristic characteristics of the samples were studied. Cyrtopodion scabrum has been collected and reported for the first time in Mazandaran Province in this study.
