WA Museum Records and Supplements | Updated 1 decade ago

Abstract
Both species come from the arid mid-west of Western Australia. One, Lerista gascoynensis, is nearest to L. nichollsi, which it replaces in much of the middle
and upper Gascoyne River valley. The other, L. varia, is nearest to L. connivens, which it replaces in much of the Shark Bay region.
