Delma molleri
# Delma molleri

Delma molleri (commonly known as Gulfs delma and Adelaide delma) is a small [the snout-vent length of the largest specimen measured 111 mm (4.4 in)], limbless lizard found in southern South Australia around the Adelaide Hills, and pretty common in Adelaide suburbs. Delma molleri has been recorded from a variety of habitats ranging from grassland to woodland beneath rocks, timber, and rubbish. The species is oviparous.

The nucleotide (DNA/RNA) and protein sequences of D. molleri have been sourced through the European Nucleotide Archive (ENA) and Universal Protein Resource (UniProt) databases. The identification of the species as an Australian-dwelling organism has been achieved by accessing the Australian Plant Census (APC) and the Australian Faunal Directory (AFD) through the Atlas of Living Australia.

## Etymology

The specific name, molleri, is in honor of Danish ship's captain Möller who brought the holotype from Australia.
