This species is known only from a small geographic range, however, due to a lack of survey data, it is difficult to evaluate it's conservation status and therefore we classify this species as "Data Deficient (DD)".
Eutropis englei can be distinguished from congeners by the following combination of characters: (1) body size moderate (55-70 mm SVL for mature adults); (2) head scales with low ridges; (3) dorsal scales with 7-9 sharp keels; (4) 28 to 32 midbody scale rows; (5) 40-47 transverse rows along vertebral line between parietals and base of tail; (6) 22-26 lamellae beneath 4th toe; (7) 6-9 lamellae beneath 1st toe; (8) 7 or 8 upper labials; (9) 6 or 7 lower labials; (10) prefrontals separate; (11) frontoparietals not fused; (12) parietals separated by narrow, shield-shaped interparietal; (13) one pair of nuchals (Brown & Alcala, 1980).
Coloration in life remains unrecorded. Coloration in preservative: Dorsum between the light dorsolateral stripes marked by a series of 5 dark brown and 4 bluish to whitish longitudinal stripes extending from nape onto base of tail. Dorsolateral light stripe begins at posterior corner of eye and lateral one at the level of the labials, both extending along body to tail. Venter ivory to tan, relatively uniform or with dusky blue on throat and belly. Labials light with only a few small brown spots (Brown & Alcala, 1980).
Eutropis englei is known only from south central Mindanao Island, Philippines.
Mindanao Pleistocene Aggregate Island Complex (PAIC; Brown and Diesmos, 2002).
Taylor (1925) noted that E. englei is found only in low vegetation along beach areas or the mouths of rivers and does not appear to be found in the forest.
Eutropis englei is most similar to E. multicarinata, and even occurs sympatrically with E. multicarinata in the areas from which it is known in Southern Mindanao. However, Taylor (1925) noted that despite this, the two species occupy different habitats in these areas with E. multicarinata occurring in the forest, whereas E. englei was found on low vegetation and never in the forest. E. englei also does not attain as large a size as E. multicarinata and typically the number of middorsal scale rows between the parietals and the base of the tail is higher.

Eutropis englei, also known commonly as Engel's mabuya and the six-striped mabouya, is a species of skink, a lizard in the family Scincidae. The species is endemic to Mindanao in the Philippines.[2]
The specific name, englei, is in honor of Captain Francis G. Engle (1888–1974) of the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey.[3]
The preferred natural habitat of E. englei is low vegetation near mouths of streams and along beaches.[1]
The mode of reproduction of E. englei is unknown.[2]

Eutropis englei est une espèce de sauriens de la famille des Scincidae[1].
Cette espèce est endémique de l'île de Mindanao aux Philippines[1]. Elle y a été collectée par Henri H. Taylor lors de son voyage sur la côte de Cotabato pour y prélever des spécimens[2]. De nouveaux éléments montrent que E. englei sont observés surtout dans les zones agricoles à canopée ouverte, le long des sentiers et dans la litière de feuilles des lisières de forêt mais pas dans la forêt elle-même. Ces forêts sont à une altitude comprise entre 100 et 500 mètres au-dessus du niveau de la mer[2].
Cette espèce est nommée en l'honneur de Francis G. Engle (1888-1974)[3].
