Scincus striatus Daudin

1825 Beitra¨ge: 196.

PRESENT STATUS: Mabuya sp.

REMARKS: Daudin never described a Scincus striatus . Wied’s reference to page 296 in volume 4 (1802) of Daudin’s (1801–1803) Histoire Naturelle...des Reptiles shows that the name was simply a lapsus or misprint for Scincus tristatus Daudin , a synonym probably of the North American Eumeces laticeps (Sch-neider, 1801) fide Taylor (1936: 212). Wied’s species is another Mabuya (probably the same as the preceding species), not yet identifiable.

There are no specimens in the collection.
