The dorsal surface is usually grey or yellowish-brown, but is sometimes green in males, copiously speckled with rows of dark markings.

The underparts are white, yellow, pink, or orange, but there are not any of the small blue spots along the edge of the belly which are often present in Carbonell's wall lizard.

[4] Bocage's wall lizard is found in northern Portugal and northwestern Spain as far southwards as the River Douro.

[1] Typical habitats of P. bocagei are open deciduous woodland, scrubland, coastal sand dunes, and cultivated areas, including in villages, at altitudes from sea level to 1,900 m (6,200 ft).

[1] Bocage's wall lizard is common in suitable habitat within its range.
