[3] The Sicilian wall lizard grows to a length around 7.5 cm (3 in), with males being slightly larger than females.

Other dark spots occur in rows on the back and flanks of males, but females are often a more uniform colour.

The underparts are white, with a spotted throat, but may be suffused with orange, pink, or red in breeding males.

It frequents areas with lush vegetation on the edges of woodland, bushy slopes, pasture, and cultivated land.

[4] P. waglerianus is widespread in Sicily, is tolerant of a range of habitats, and is assumed to have a large total population.
