Jagor's sphenomorphus (Pinoyscincus jagori) is a species of skink, a lizard in the family Scincidae. The species is endemic to the Philippines. There are two recognized subspecies.[2]
Etymology[]
The specific name, jagori, is in honor of German naturalist Fedor Jagor.[3]
Habitat[]
The preferred natural habitat of P. jagori is forest, at altitudes from sea level to 1,000 m (3,300 ft).[1]
Description[]
Dorsally, P. jagori is brown, with darker and lighter variegations.[4] Adults have a snout-to-vent length (SVL) of about 9 cm (3.5 in).[2] The tail length exceeds the SVL.[4]
Reproduction[]
Subspecies[]
Two subspecies are recognized as being valid, including the nominotypical subspecies.[2]
Nota bene: A trinomial authority in parentheses indicates that the subspecies was originally described in a genus other than Pinoyscincus.
