Eutropis resetarii is a species of skink, a lizard in the family Scincidae. The species is endemic to Sri Lanka. [1]
The specific name, resetarii, is in honor of American herpetologist Alan Resetar. [1]
E. resetarii has supranasals and prefrontals widely separated. Postnasals are absent. The prefrontals reach the lateral sides of the snout. Only the first supraocular is in contact with the frontal. There are six or seven supraciliaries, and the lower preocular is as large as the first loreal. The first and second pairs of chin shields are separated by a single scale. The digits are comparatively robust. The external ear opening is large. There are 14 to 15 subdigital lamellae located under the fourth digit of the pes. [2]
The mode of reproduction of E. resetarii is unknown. [1]
Skinks are lizards belonging to the family Scincidae, a family in the infraorder Scincomorpha. With more than 1,500 described species across 100 different taxonomic genera, the family Scincidae is one of the most diverse families of lizards. Skinks are characterized by their smaller legs in comparison to typical lizards and are found in different habitats except arctic and subarctic regions.
The Haly's tree skink is a species of tree skink found in Sri Lanka. Earlier thought to be found also in the Western Ghats, taxonomic studies have shown this to be a Sri Lankan endemic, differentiated from the Indian Dasia subcaeruleum. It is the only arboreal skink in Sri Lanka.
Eutropis ashwamedhi, also known commonly as the Ashwamedh supple skink or Ashwamedha writhing skink, is a species of lizard in the family Scincidae. The species is endemic to India.
Eutropis beddomei, commonly known as Beddome's mabuya or Beddome's skink, is a species of lizard in the family Scincidae. The species is native to India and Sri Lanka.
Eutropis bibronii, also known commonly as Bibron's mabuya, Bibron's skink, and the seashore skink, is a species of lizard in the family Scincidae. The species is native to India and Sri Lanka.
Eutropis dawsoni, also known commonly as Gans's grass skink and Gans's mabuya, is a species of lizard in the family Scincidae. The species is endemic to the southern Western Ghats, India.
The bronze grass skink, bronze mabuya or speckled forest skink, is a species of skink found in South and Southeast Asia. It is a common, but shy, ground-dwelling species that is active both day and night.
Eutropis multifasciata, commonly known as the East Indian brown mabuya, many-lined sun skink, many-striped skink, common sun skink or (ambiguously) as golden skink, is a species of skink.
Sharma's mabuya is a species of skinks found in India. It was described by Sharma (1969) from hills south of Vijaypuri on the right bank of the river Krishna in Andhra Pradesh.
Eutropis tytleri is a species of skink, a lizard in the family Scincidae. The species is endemic to the Andaman Islands, India.
Scincomorpha is an infraorder and clade of lizards including skinks (Scincidae) and their close relatives. These include the living families Cordylidae, Gerrhosauridae, and Xantusiidae, as well as many extinct taxa. Other roughly equivalent terms include the suborder Scinciformata, or the superfamily Scincoidea, though different authors use these terms in a broader or more restricted usage relative to true skinks. They first appear in the fossil record about 170 million years ago, during the Jurassic period. The phylogeny below follows that of Alifanov in 2016.
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.
Lankascincus deignani, commonly known as Deignan's tree skink and the Deignan tree skink, is a species of lizard in the family Scincidae. The species is endemic to the island of Sri Lanka.
Eutropis floweri, also known commonly as Flower's skink, Taylor's skink and Taylor's striped mabuya, is a species of lizard in the family Scincidae. The species is endemic to the island of Sri Lanka.
Eutropis madaraszi, also known commonly as the Sri Lanka bronze mabuya, the Sri Lanka bronze skink, or (ambiguously) the spotted skink, is a species of lizard in the family Scincidae. The species is endemic to the island of Sri Lanka.
Eutropis tammanna is a species of skink endemic to the island of Sri Lanka.
Nessia didactyla, also known as the two-toed nessia and two-toed snakeskink, is a species of skink endemic to island of Sri Lanka.
Eutropis austini is a species of skink, a lizard in the family Scincidae. The species is endemic to Sri Lanka.
Eutropis greeri is a species of skink, a lizard in the family Scincidae. The species is endemic to Sri Lanka.
