Eutropis macrophthalma

Large-eyed Sun Skink, Large-eyed Ground Skink

Grossäugiger Sonnenskink

Storøjet Solskink

2002 Mabuya macrophthalma Mausfeld & Böhme
Eutropis macophthalmus Mausfeld, Schmitz, Böhme, Misof, Vrcibradic & Rocha 2002
2007 Eutropis grandis Howard, Gillespie, Riyanto & Iskandar (syn. Amarasinghe, Thammachoti, Campbell, Hallermann, Henkanaththegedara, Karunarathna, Riyanto, Smith & Ineich 2019)

1958 Mabuya macularia malcolmi Taylor & Elbel
1958 Mabuya macularia postnasalis Taylor & Elbel
1958 Mabuya macularia quadrifasciata Taylor & Elbel

Other common names:
allapallensis: Allapalli Forest Skink
Remarks: A widely distibuted, highly variable species which is considered a complex of species which needs further studies. Previously included brevis, dawsoni, and madaraszi. Records from Western Ghats refer to these species (Ganesh, Deuti, Achyuthan, Campbell, Raha, Bag & Debnath 2021). The taxon allapallensis was regarded as a synonym of macularia (e.g., Smith 1935), revalidated by Sharma (1976), and then synonymized again with macularius by Mirza, Sanap & Upadhaye (2010). Vyas (2011) still listed the species as valid. Das (2010) apparently omitted this species from West Malaysia (Grismer 2011).
Distribution: Bangladesh, Bhutan, Cambodia, India (Andhra Pradesh, Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Bihar, Chhattisgarh, Goa, Gujarat, Himachal Pradesh, Jharkhand, Karnataka, Kerala, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Odisha, Punjab, Rajasthan, Tamil Nadu, Telangana, Tripura, Uttarakhand, West Bengal), Laos, Malaysia (West Malaysia [incl.

Remarks: Previously included borealis and the populations now assigned to caraga, cuprea, gubataas, islamaliit, lapulapu, palauensis, sahulinghangganan, and sibalom. Grismer & Aun (2008) listed multicarinata for southern peninsular Malaysia (incl. Seribuat Archipelago), presumably an error for multifasciata, which was not included in their list, although present in the region. Records from Borneo refer to indeprensa (Das 2007c). Records from Palau and Micronesia refer to palauensis (Barley, Diesmos, Siler, Martinez & Brown 2020). Although Barley, Diesmos, Siler, Martinez & Brown (2020) considered multicarinata restricted to the Philippines, Talaud Islands (Indonesia) records of the species are provisionally included herein, pending further studies of the status of this population.
Distribution: Indonesia (Talaud Islands), Philippines (Dinagat, Leyte, Mindanao, Samar).
