Geoff, on this specimen you can see the four fingers, and it also looks like a Mentia. Michael, seeing as you already have this lizard in your hand it is essential that the photograph "clearly" shows the four fingers so there is no doubt, even if you have to take a second shot close up to make sure! Menetia was never thought a common species in this area and we need to be sure of individuals and not mistake them for Morethia.

John, Can you link at the records for Boulenger's Skink and see if any of them should be reclassified?
