Citation

Nguyen T (2015). New provincial records of skinks ( Squamata : Scincidae ) from northwestern Vietnam. Biodiversity Data Journal. Checklist dataset https://doi.org/10.15468/q7iguu accessed via GBIF.org on 2025-07-12.

Description

We report six new records of skinks from northwestern Vietnam: Eutropis macularius, Scincella devorator, S. monticola, S. ochracea, Sphenomorphus cryptotis and S. indicus. Our new findings increase the species number of skinks (Scincidae) to nine in Dien Bien Province and to 14 in Son La Province. We also provide additional natural history data of aforementioned species.
