Citation | Grismer, L., Quah, E., Neang, T., Stuart, B., Shang, G. & Yang, J. 2019. Eutropis longicaudata. The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species 2019: e.T102345774A102345849. https://dx.doi.org/10.2305/IUCN.UK.2019-2.RLTS.T102345774A102345849.en. Downloaded on 07 August 2020. | Description | JUSTIFICATION Listed as Least Concern on the basis that this species is widespread, adaptable, the population is considered to be stable, and it is subject to no known threats. RANGE DESCRIPTION This species is widespread from China (in Guangdong, Hainan, Yunnan, Taiwan, and Hong Kong- Zhao et al. 1999), including Taiwan, throughout Indochina to the Malay Peninsula, where it is found in mainland Thailand and Malaysia as well as from Pulau Tioman in the Seribuat Archipelago (Grismer 2011b, Vassilieva et al. 2016). In Peninsula Malaysia two additional localities have recently been reported: Gunung Senyum, Pahang and Kota Tinggi, Johor (L. Grismer and E. Quah pers. comm. 2017). In China it is found below 500 m asl. DESCRIPTION This species is common in a range of forest habitats, particularly forest edges, palm groves and other open areas (Vassilieva et al. 2016, Grismer et al. 2011a,b). In Indochina this species is commonly found at the edge of modified habitats near villages (B. Stuart and T. Neang pers. comm. 2017). The population is estimated to be stable. In China, it is a common species throughout its range. HABITAT AND ECOLOGY This skink favours forest edges, rural and suburban areas from the lowlands to submontane areas, but can be found in a variety of forest types (Vassilieva et al. 2016). It is also found in secondary forests and scrub. (B. Stuart pers. comm. 2017). It is regularly observed in disturbed or other open areas, including palm groves and roadsides, where there is ground debris or nearby cover objects (Grismer 2011b). In China it is often found near residential areas and fish ponds, and in weedy areas on rock. It is primarily terrestrial but is often observed climbing tree trunks (Vassilieva et al. 2016). Clutches of 1-16 eggs are laid on the ground or in wall crevices (Vassilieva et al. 2016). This species can be very commonly seen during sunny periods immediately following showers (Grismer 2011b). It feeds mainly on chafers and insect larvae at least in China. THREATS At this point in time there are no threats for the survival of the species (L. Grismer, B. Stuart, T. Neang, and E. Quah pers. comm. 2017, J.H. Yang pers. comm. 2018). USE AND TRADE This species is not known to be consumed or traded (L. Grismer, B. Stuart, T. Neang, and E. Quah pers. comm. 2017, J.H. Yang pers. comm. 2018). CONSERVATION ACTIONS No conservation measures are needed for this species (L. Grismer, B. Stuart, T. Neang, and E. Quah pers. comm. 2017). It is present in a few protected areas in China. |
