“…This skink is differentiated from other co-members by having four fingers in the limbs (vs. five fingers). It is very similar to its closely allied species L. vosmaerii (taxonomically debatable species, see Vyas 2010. L. lineata has four fingers and four toes, whereas L. vosmaerii has five fingers and four toes (Smith 1935;Seetharamaraju et al 2009;).…”

The family Scincidae is the largest group among lizards, comprising more than 1558 species (Uetz & Hosek 2014). Of the seven subfamilies recognized, the subfamily Lygosominae contains over 52 species in five genera (Uetz & Hosek 2014). The genus Lygosoma Hardwicke & Gray, 1827 has a long and complicated nomenclatural history (see Geissler et al. 2011). In India, the genus Lygosoma is represented by nine species, of which five are endemic (Datta-Roy et al. 2014), including Günther's Supple Skink Lygosoma guentheri (Peters, 1879) and the Lined Supple Skink Lygosoma lineata (Gray, 1839). These are less studied, terrestrial, insectivorous and diurnal supple-skinks (Molur & Walker 1998). Both these species are found in peninsular India and are classified 'Least Concern' species by the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species (Srinivasulu & Srinivasulu 2013a, b).Reserved forest and degraded areas of the northern ends of the Western Ghats, especially the border areas of Vyara and Dangs districts (Gujarat) and Nasik District (Maharashtra) were explored during 2012 and 2013, and a small number of specimens of supple-skinks studied. Two fresh skink specimens of L. lineata and L. guentheri were collected from the outskirts of Vadodara

“…The altitude distribution of the L. guentheri is observed from 15m (Valsad Town, Gujarat) up to 1600m (Kalsubai, Maharashtra), in the Western Ghats. The altitude distribution of L. lineata is from 2m at the saline grasslands of Velavadar National Park, Bhavnagar District, Gujarat (Vyas 2001)…”
