Summary
*Nesterov’s monitor (Varanus nesterovi)* was formally described in 2015 from museum specimens collected in 1914. The specimens came from Byara, now in Halabja Governorate, and near Nawtkhana in Diyala. Named after its collector, P. V. Nesterov, this rarely recorded lizard was recognized as a distinct species a century after its collection.
