Speckle-lipped Skink (Mabuya maculilabris)
Photo. This skink picture went unidentified for a year and a half. Dr.
Robert Drewes told me it was definitely a skink, probably a
Mabuya, but he couldn't tell which species. [eng]

Mabuya frenata
Habitat-Ocorre em áreas abertas, principalmente no cerrado.
Microhabitat-Vive junto ao chão, subindo regularmente no tronco de árvores, em troncos caídos, rochas e cupinzeiros. Prefere locais moderadamente
ensolarados, onde se desloca constantemente entre manchas de sol e de sombra, o que é importante na regulação de sua temperatura corporal. Utiliza fendas de
rochas, espaços sob a casca de árvores e buracos sob rochas, troncos caídos e cupinzeiros onde procura abrigo e deposita suas ninhadas. [por]

Mabuya sp.
Primarily terrestrial, some do climb rocks and trees; near human habitation, they may be found on walls and fences. Forested species may be found
only where there are clearing or openings to allow sunlight to penetrate for basking.

Mabuya quinquetaeniata (LICHTENSTEIN, 1823) - Freilandbeobachtungen an Blauschwanzskinken in Kenia
Die Aktivität der kleinen Echsen zog sich über den gesamten Tag hin, um 8.15 Uhr konnte ich die
ersten Tiere beobachten. Zu diesem Zeitpunkt maß ich 23°C im Schatten. Neben ausgiebigen
Sonnenbädern beobachtete ich die Blauschwanzskinke häufig bei der Jagd auf Insekten, bevorzugt
am Ufer eines auf dem Gelände befindlichen, vegetationsreichen Teiches. Zum Teil liefen die Tiere
auf die großen dicken Blätter einer Seerose. [deu]

A review of the genus Mabuya in southeastern Africa (Sauria: Scincidae)
The taxonomy of twenty-one evolutionary species of Mabuya from southeastern Africa is reviewed, using the general lineage concept and several
diagnostic characters not previously used for this genus. This has resulted in two insular populations, M. casuarinae Broadley and M. albotaeniata Boettger
(Pemba Island), being recognised as full species rather than subspecies of M. maculilabris (Gray). In addition, M. punctulata Bocage is given specific status, and in
the M. striata complex the "subspecies" punctatissima (A. Smith), wahlbergii (Peters) and sparsa Mertens are recognised as distinct species and M. mlanjensis
Loveridge is revived from synonymy. [eng]
