Eutropis borealis is a species of skink. Before being elevated to full-species rank in 2020, it was considered a subspecies of Eutropis multicarinata (formerly Mabuya multicarinata). [2]

Eutropis borealis is endemic to the Philippines and is known from the islands of Catanduanes, Luzon, Polillo, Babuyan Claro, and Batanes. Adults measure 64–83 mm (2.5–3.3 in) in snout–vent length. [2]

<i>Eutropis</i> Genus of lizards

Eutropis is a genus of skinks belonging to the subfamily Mabuyinae. For long, this genus was included in the "wastebin taxon" Mabuya; it contains the Asian mabuyas. They often share their habitat with the related common skinks (Sphenomorphus), but they do not compete significantly as their ecological niches differ. This genus also contains the only member of the subfamily to occur in Australasia, the many-lined sun skink, whose wide range includes New Guinea.
