Eutropis bontocensis (Taylor 1923)

According to the IUCN categories and classification structure, we consider the conservation status of this species as “Least Concern (LC),” pending the collection of additional information that might suggest otherwise.

Eutropis bontocensis can be distinguished from congeners by the following combination of characters: (1) body size moderately large (roughly 55-60 mm SVL at maturity); (2) dorsal and lateral scales with 5-7 keels; (3) 30-32 midbody scale rows; (4) 44-46 scale rows between parietals and base of tail; (5) 22-24 lamellae beneath the 4th toe; (6) parietals in broad contact posteriorly; (7) 6 or 7 upper and lower labials; (8) 8 or 9 lamellae beneath the 1st toe; (8) preanals not or only slightly enlarged; (9) ear moderate, it's diameter about 1/3 that of eye; (10) 2 longitudinal stripes on dorsum between light dorsolateral lines; (11) interparietals small (Brown & Alcala, 1980).

Coloration in preservative: Dorsal and lateral surfaces with bluish-white and brown longitudinal stripes; 2 light stripes on lateral surface, one at ear level and one at limb level; a light dorsolateral stripe beginning at posterior corner of eye; between these on dorsum 3 brown stripes, the middle one along the vertebtral line, and 2 narrower light stripes; labials with only a few scattered brown spots; venter ivory-tan diffused with slate especially in region of throat and fore limbs (Brown & Alcala, 1980).

Eutropis bontocensis was originally described exclusively from it's type locality high on the mountains of far Northern Luzon. Subsequent surveys have found that it occurs on a number of mountains on Northern Luzon and on mountains in the Babuyan and Batanes Islands north of Luzon Island.

Luzon Pleistocene Aggregate Island Complex (PAIC; Brown and Diesmos, 2002).

Eutropis bontocensis most closely resembles E. cumingi and E. multicarinata, both of which occur on Luzon Island. However E. bontocensis can be distinguished from both by color pattern, from E. cumingi by it's larger size, and from E. multicarinata by the larger number of scale rows between the parietals and the base of the tail.
