Paul DeBenedictis 1960 Habuya brachypoda Dec 25 8.1 mi N (by road) Manaamillo, Colima, Mexico Teddy Papenluss caught one of these skinks and saw two others in the coconut trash of a clear coconut grove at the side of a large lake. We got Electroclecty lids and Leptodierae maculata here, g.u. Dec 25 approx. 6 mi N (by road) Manaamillo, Colima, Mexico I found two of these lizards in a coconut grove, bet missed both. The area is a bushy thorn forest with many coconut trees and logs. the first skink was under the dry fronds of a fallen tree, with many scorpions. It escaped in the deep litter around the tree. The second was under a small piece of coconut litter, about 4x8 inches. It dashed off in to the bushes when exposed. Gary Beeman saw a small "turquoise blue" lizard in the litter here that may have been the young of this species.
