Lepidothyris fernandi (Burton, 1836) [formerly Mochlus fernandi ] (one specimen)

The genus was recently revised ( Wagner et al. 2009). In Eastern Africa, the species occurs between 600 and 2,100 m ( Spawls et al. 2002) whereas in Cameroon it is only reported from sea level to 1,200 m at Bafut. This skink was also observed on the eastern sides of the BH at Kenshi, at an elevation of 1,080 m on April 17, 2004 (6.107°N and 9.713°E).
