We tested 27 microsatellite loci for cross‐species amplification in the lacertids Podarcis gaigeae and Podarcis hispanica . We detected 11 and 15 polymorphic loci in the former and the latter species, respectively. In a larger sample of individuals from a single population of each species, the number of alleles ranged from five to 23 in 10 of the polymorphic loci in P. gaigeae , and between four and 13 in nine of polymorphic loci in P. hispanica . Two locus deviated from Hardy‐Weinberg equilibrium in P. hispanica . Between 11 and 16 of the 27 loci also amplified successfully in three other Podarcis species .
