The Northern Wet Tropics shadeskink or Cooktown shadeskink (Saproscincus lewisi) is a species of skink found in Queensland in Australia. [2]
Saproscincus is a genus of skinks native to Australia, sometimes referred to as shadeskinks. It contains the following species:
The blue iguana, also known as the Grand Cayman ground iguana, Grand Cayman blue iguana or Cayman Island rock iguana, is an endangered species of lizard which is endemic to the island of Grand Cayman. It was previously considered to be a subspecies of the Cuban iguana, Cyclura nubila, but in a 2004 article Frederic J. Burton reclassified it as a separate species because according to him the genetic differences discovered four years earlier between the different C. nubila populations warranted this interpretation. The blue iguana is one of the longest-living species of lizard.
The northern Bahamian rock iguana is a species of lizard of the genus Cyclura that is found on Andros Island and the Exuma islands in the Bahamas. Its status on the IUCN Red List is vulnerable, with a wild population of less than 5,000 animals.
Lewis's tuco-tuco is a species of rodent in the family Ctenomyidae. It is endemic to Bolivia.
The Cromwell chafer beetle is a species of flightless beetle in the family Scarabaeidae. It is found in just one spot in Central Otago, New Zealand, which is now a nature reserve.
Valvata lewisi, common name the fringed valvata, is a species of small freshwater snail with a gill and an operculum, an aquatic gastropod mollusk in the family Valvatidae, the valve snails.
Sassia is a genus of sea snails, marine gastropod molluscs in the family Cymatiidae.
Saproscincus mustelinus, commonly known as the southern weasel skink or weasel shadeskink, is a small species of skink which is endemic to Australia.
Rotuma lewisi, or Lewis's wriggler, is a species of fish in the family Xenisthmidae, which is regarded as a synonymous with the Eleotridae. Rotuma is a monotypic genus. The generic name refers to the volcanic island of Rotuma, north of Fiji while the specific name honours Anthony D. Lewis, a Fisheries Officer of the Government of Fiji who supported Springer's field work in Fiji. It has been recorded from Fiji, Tonga, the Santa Cruz Islands, the Comoros Islands, and the Chesterfield Islands.
Saproscinus spectabilis known as the gully shadeskink is a small lizard found in Queensland and New South Wales, Australia. The habitat is cool, shaded gullies where it feeds on small insects. It may be seen on sunny rocky outcrops within gullies. Ground cover and rocky cracks are required to avoid predation from birds such as the kookaburra and pied currawong.
The Cape Melville shadeskink is a species of lizards from the Cape York Peninsula of Queensland, Australia, described in 2013. It was one of three vertebrates discovered by scientists from James Cook University and National Geographic in an area of mountain rainforest in North Queensland. The lizards are active by day, running and jumping through the mossy boulder fields of Northern Queensland.
The pale-lipped shadeskink is a species of skink found in Queensland in Australia.
The orange-tailed shadeskink, Border Ranges shadeskink, or Challenger's skink is a species of skink found in New South Wales and Queensland in Australia.
The wedge-snouted shadeskink or Czechuras litter-skink is a species of skink found in Queensland in Australia.
The Eungella shadeskink is a species of skink found in Queensland in Australia.
Hannah's shadeskink is a species of skink found in Queensland in Australia.
The orange-tailed shadeskink or highland forest skink is a species of skink found in New South Wales and Queensland in Australia.
The four-fingered shadeskink or four-toed litter-skink is a species of skink found in Queensland in Australia.
