Euprepes blythi Steindachner (Ouboter 1986) |
|
| |
Mocoa blythii Theobald 1876 |
Remarks:
Ouboter (1986) regarded himalayanus as a subspecies of ladacensis (at that time included in
Scincella), but most subsequent authors have retained them as separate species (e.g., Schleich & Kästle (eds.) 2002; Zhao & Adler 1993; Sindaco & Jeremchenko 2008). Records from China (Tibet and Xinjiang) (e.g., Zhao & Adler 1993) are erroneous (Sindaco & Jeremchenko 2008). Records from Tibet refer to sikkimensis and ladacensis stimsoni, and records from Xinjiang refer to alaicus.
