Treatment

Material examined. BANGLADESH • 1 adult; Syl- het Division, Moulvibazar District , Kamalganj Upazila, LNP, Wildlife Rescue and Rehabilitation Center at Janki Chora; 24°18.74′N, 091°46.52′E; 20 Jun. 2015; 13:53; photo voucher ZRC ( IMG) 2.355 GoogleMaps .

Identification. We differentiated E. macularia in LNP from other Eutropis species by its dark flanks with clear white spotting, 7–10 keels on each dorsal scale, an adult SVL of 6–7 cm, and the presence of brilliant red breed- ing coloration in males ( Das 2010).

Habitat. We found this skink in forest clearings, including small clear-cuts, along railroad lines, and in building projects in both mature and degraded forest as well as tea plantation.
