Emoia arnoensis

provided by wikipedia EN

The Micronesia black skink (Emoia arnoensis) is a species of lizard in the family Scincidae. It is found in Micronesia, likely limited within the Marshall Islands, Nauru, and Kosrae.[1][2][3][4] There is debate on whether the Nauru population is a subspecies, due to its larger amount of middorsal scales. [3][4]

Habitat

E. arnoensis is strongly terrestrial, typically in thickly weeded or vine covered open habitats.[4]
