- W65009404 abstract "The Coromandel Coast of India and northwestern dry zone of the adjacent island of Sri Lanka share several herpetofaunal taxa (Smith 1935, 1943, Das 2002,Whitaker & Captain 2004, Somaweera & Somaweera 2009) owing to their homogeneous contemporary landscapes and intermittent land-bridge connections in the past (Plant & Kumar 1997, Rohling et al. 1998). Both these regions, situated on either side of the Palk Strait, comprise of dry, sandy alluvial plains intermixed with scrub forests (Champion & Seth 1968, Fernando 1968). The sea-shore skink Eutropis bibronii (Gray, 1838) is known from sandy, eastern coastal plains of India, i.e., from Puri, Orissa (19° N, 85° E) in the north, through Madras (12° N, 80° E), Ramnad, Rameshwaram, Kilakarai (9° N, 77° E), south to Rajakamangalum in Travancore (8° N, 77° E), and in northeastern Sri Lanka, from Jaffna, Mullaittivu (9° N, 80° E), Chundikulam (8° N, 81° E), and Pollonnaruwa (7° N, 81° E) (Smith 1935, Somaweera & Somaweera 2009). In this note, we report on a live, uncollected, adult Eutropis bibronii observed on 31 December 2009, basking on a sandy river bank in Rasimanal (ca. 12°45’ N, 77°40’ E, 490 m above sea level, Krishnagiri district, Tamil Nadu state), situated 240 km inland in the Eastern Ghats, India. Scalation: Lower eyelid with a transparent disc; midbody scale rows – 30; prefrontals not in contact with one another; supranasals not touching one another; nuchals – 2 pairs, multicarinate, anterior nuchal subequal to posterior one; postmental – 1, large, subequal to mental; frontoparietal scarcely larger than interparietal; parietals subequal in size to both the nuchals together; vertebrals – 41; transverse dorsal scale rows at mid-torso – 9; supraoculars – 4, 2nd largest; supraciliaries – 5; loreals – 2, the posterior one slightly larger; supralabials – 7; infralabials – 7; postmental – 1; scales pentacarinate; snout markedly pointed in dorsal and lateral views; ear-opening as large as or a little larger than a lateral scale; auricular lobules – 3, large and conspicuous; temporals keeled; ventrals smooth throughout, as large as dorsals; 4th toe subdigitals – 19; subcaudals – 72+? (tail tip missing), smaller in postcloacal region, hexagonal and wider than long throughout,. Colouration in life: Dorsum sand-brown with a blackedged, bright cream-yellow vertebral stripe, covering the upper halves of adjacent scales, extending in length from behind the frontal to the tail, conspicuous anteriorly to mid-torso, discontinuous and faint posteriorly; a thick black lateral stripe from snout to tail on either side, bordered below by a wide white stripe as a continuation of the white labials; an orange stripe below the white lateral stripe; hind limbs with creamy white spots above; sub digi-" @default.
