COMMENT

Duméril & Bibron (1839) mentioned the unpublished name Scincus celestinus . Later Duméril & Duméril (1851: 157) indicated that there are three specimens donated from Museum of Leiden with the name Scincus celestinus in the MNHN collections. These specimens are still in the collections and are in a rather good state of preservation.
