Interparietal present, well separated from supraoculars and of triangular shape, longer than wide; parietal eye evident. Parietals contact posterior to interparietal. Two pairs of enlarged nuchals. Nasal an anteriorly open ellipsis, just slightly larger than nostril, in contact with rostral, first supralabials and supranasals. Postnasal absent, probably fused with first supralabials. Loreal single, longer than higher. Preocular single; presubocular absent. Supraciliaries five, in continuous row, first and last pairs significantly larger and longer than the intermediate ones; last pair projecting medially into supraocular series (thereby greatly reducing fourth supraocular in size); upper palpebrals small except for last which projects dorsomedially slightly.

Primary temporal single. Secondary temporals two, upper long, contacting lower pretemporal anteriorly and the first pair of nuchal posteriorly and overlapping lower secondary temporal ventrally; tertiary temporal single, bordering lower secondary temporal, dorsoventrally elongated, and posteriorly followed by a scale slightly smaller and similar in shape. Supralabials six, the fourth being the subocular which contacts scales of lower eyelid. Postsupralabial single, external ear opening approximately half size of eye opening, circular to horizontally suboval, with short, narrow, blunt lobules anteriorly (at least three evident, the first one being the biggest). Mental twice wider than long; postmental diamond shaped, wider than long, contacting two infralabials. Infralabials five. Three pairs of large chin scales, members of first pair nearly in contact medially, members of second pair separated by one scale row, and members of third pair separated by five scale rows. Two asymmetrical postgenials posterolaterally in contact with the third pair of chin scales. Gulars similar in size and outline to ventrals. All scales, except head shields and scales on palms, soles, and digits, cycloid, smooth, and imbricate; longitudinal scale rows at midbody 35; paravertebrals 98–99, including nuchals, similar in size to adjacent scales; ventrals 92, including the preanals and postmentals; larger inner preanals overlap outer smaller; scales of midventral caudal series similar in size to more adjacent scales. Both pairs of limbs pentadactyl; fingers and toes very short, clawed. Subdigital lamellae smooth, single, with 7/8 subdigital lamellae beneath fourth digit of hands, 11/11 subdigital lamellae beneath fourth digit of feet.

Background color of the upper side of the head, neck, back, limbs, and tail light grey/ brownish. Venter, lower side of head, throat, lower side of limbs, tail and flanks are creamish, with the flanks slightly darker than venter. The limit between the dorsal coloration and the flanks shows a little contrast, which was more evident in life. Dorsal scales show lighter posterior edges, and the grey/brownish coloration comprises ten dorsal scales in wide. On the head, the area between the ear opening and the eye, including the two posteriormost supralabial, post-supralabial and the lower temporals, are whitish (the same coloration as the throat), contrasting with the rest of the dorsal side of the head. On all limbs, the dark coloration of the upper part does not connect with the dorsum, having an area in the proximal part of the limb with light-cream coloration. The coloration of the palms and feet is slightly darker than the ventral coloration. The rostral, first supralabials and the supranasals scales show a contrasting milky or semi-translucid coloration, with a clearer whitish dot on the central part of the rostral.

The following summary of the variation in meristic and mensural characters gives the range for each of them, followed by the mean, ± the standard deviation, and sample size in parentheses. For some bilateral characters, the sample size has been noted as the number of sides rather than specimens, and this is then indicated after the sample size. Ventrals scales rows: 91–96 (93.23 ± 1.48, n=13); paravertebral scales rows: 95– 101 (98.30 ± 2.13, n=13); longitudinal scale rows at mid-body: 32–36 (34.38 ± 1.12, n=13); lamellae under 4th finger: 6–8 (6.85 ± 0.67, n sides=26); lamellae under 4th toe: 9–13 (11.23 ± 1.11, n sides=26); SVL adults:

. Juveniles frequently show a whitish patch on the anterior supraciliary area. Specimens from the western population (Ambohijanahary) have a narrower dark dorsal stripe (always six scale rows on the neck, n=2) than those from Makira and Marotandrano (always ten scale rows on the neck, n=11). The life coloration of juveniles is similar to the adults, with a bright contrasting orange / pink on the flanks, venter, lower side of head, throat, lower side of limbs, and tail. Nevertheless, in Makira, the pattern shown by the available series of specimens suggests that the orange coloration fades in parallel with the age of the specimen, what does not seem to be the case in the populations of Marotandrano and Ambohijanahary. In all specimens, the orange coloration disappeared after fixation, becoming cream or peach colored. See also table 2.

although numerous other burrowing species (skinks and frogs) were collected in these surveys. The species appears to show a preference for large rotten logs retaining a certain degree of humidity but in general in parts of the rainforest with relatively dry soils. Based on our finding in Marotandrano and Makira, this new species is not rare but probably has a quite strict ecological specificity with respect to its microhabitat (

wide stream. They may have been a breeding pair. No other individuals were found in the RS d’Ambohijanahary despite an additional 165 trap days with pitfall devices. The specimens from Marotandrano were all captured during refuge examination including rotten logs excavation and removal of barks and leaf litter accumulated under taller and big dead trees. In Makira, a group of three individuals was found together under a big log. Several larvae of coleopterans, other insects and termites were found in the same microhabitat, suggesting that this new skink may feed on these preys. In contrast to the other large species within the same genus,

Habitat loss due to slash and burn agriculture, bush fires, and wood extraction are the main pressures on the Ambohijanahary and Marotandrano reserve. Forests at these reserves, especially Ambohijanahary, are extensively fragmented. Although this forest is classified as a Réserve Spéciale, no management plan has been proposed. The reserve and surrounding areas are known to be the domain of zebu cattle thieves (

). The forested areas within the reserve are often used by local people as a site to shelter stolen zebu. The importance of this form of refuge has provided some protection to the remaining forest. Moreover, MNP has an office and agents in Marotandrano Village and a coordination office is operational in Mandritsara. On the contrary, Makira reserve currently appears to be relatively well preserved at its western edge, where the

locality of the new species is located. Despite the common use of the forest for cattle grazing, in 2009 we could not detect major forest destruction nor human settlements directly in the forested area. Efforts need to be undertaken to maintain this apparently stable situation and to reduce forest destruction at the eastern lowland borders of Makira, which appears to be relatively intense in some areas.
