Species of lizard
Carlia mysi, commonly known as Mys’ rainbow skink, is a species of lizard in the subfamily Eugongylinae of the family Scincidae. The species is native to Papua New Guinea.[1][2]
The specific name, mysi, is in honor of Belgian herpetologist Benoit Mys.[3]: 186
Geographic distribution
[edit]
Carlia mysi occurs in both mainland New Guinea and in the Bismarck Archipelago. Populations believed to be introduced exist in the Solomon Islands.[1][2]
The preferred natural habitat of Carlia mysi is grassland, at elevations from sea level to 500 m (1,600 ft), but it has also been found in disturbed and urban areas.[1]
