Eumeces schneideri, commonly known as Schneider's skink or the Berber skink

 

 

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

 

Eumeces schneideri, commonly known as Schneider's skink or the Berber skink, is a species of skink endemic to Central Asia, Western Asia, and North Africa.

 

Etymology :

 

Both the specific name, schneideri, and one of the common names, Schneider's skink, are in honor of German zoologist, Johann Gottlob Theaenus Schneider.[2]

 

Description :

 

Head moderate; snout short, obtuse. Nasal rather large, usually divided, in contact with the two anterior upper labials; no postnasal; 5 supraoculars, the three anterior in contact with the frontal; parietals entirely separated by the interparietal; 4 or 5 pairs of nuchals; ear-opening rather large, with 4 or 5 long pointed lobules anteriorly; 2 azygos postmentals. 22 to 28 scales round the middle of the body, perfectly smooth, the laterals smallest, those of the two median dorsal series very broad and larger than the ventrals. The length of the hind limb is contained 2.5 to 3 times in the length from snout to vent. When pressed against the body, the limbs just meet or fail to meet. A series of transversely enlarged subcaudals.[3]

 

Scientific classification :

Kingdom:Animalia

Phylum:Chordata

Subphylum:Vertebrata

Class:Reptilia

Order:Squamata

Suborder:Sauria

Infraorder:Scincomorpha

Family:Scincidae

Genus:Eumeces

Species:E. schneideri

  • Eumeces schneideri— Boulenger, 1890

  • Novoeumeces schneideri— Griffith et al., 2000[1]

Olive-grey or brownish above, uniform or with irregular golden-yellow spots or longitudinal streaks; a yellowish lateral streak, extending from below the eye to the hind limb, is constant; lower surfaces yellowish white.[3]

 

Size: from snout to vent, 16.5 cm (6.5 inches); plus tail, 20 cm (8 inches).[3]

8 -  Feylinia  genus   :

 

Feylinia is a genus of skinks (family Scincidae). It is usually placed in the monotypic[verification needed] subfamily Feylininae.

However, it appears to be not as distinct as formerly presumed, but rather somewhat closer to such genera as Chalcides and Sepsina. These are usually placed in the subfamily Scincinae, which seems to be paraphyletic however.

Feylinia belongs to a major clade which does not seem to include the Scincinae type genus Scincus. Thus, it will probably be eventually assigned to a new, yet-to-be-named subfamily. (Austin & Arnold 2006)

 

Species  :

 

The following five species are recognized.

 

-Feylinia currori Gray, 1845

-Feylinia elegans (Hallowell, 1854)

-Feylinia grandisquamis L. Müller, 1910

-Feylinia macrolepis Boettger, 1877

-Feylinia polylepis Bocage, 1877

9-  Amphiglossus genus :

 

Amphiglossus is a genus of skinks (family Scincidae).

 

It is usually placed in the subfamily Scincinae, which seems to be paraphyletic however. Probably quite close to Paracontias and possibly Androngo trivittatus, it belongs to a major clade which does not seem to include the type genus Scincus. Thus, it will probably be eventually assigned to a new, yet-to-be-named subfamily. 

 

Species :

 

The following species have been recognized. Some species have been assigned to a more recently created genus, Madascincus Brygoo, 1982, and some species have been synonymized with other species in the genus Amphiglossus.
