Eutropis multifasciatus (Kuhl, 1820)

Material examined. – LSUHC 7796 , 7810 : Che Teal Chrum, 5 Aug.2006 . LSUHC 7859 , 8 Aug.2006 . LSUHC 7998 , 13 Aug.2006 .

Remarks. – Three juvenile (LSUHC 7798, 7859, 7998; SVL 51–57 mm) and one adult female (LSUHC 7810; SVL 100 mm) are largely in accord with Taylor’s (1963) diagnosis of Thai specimens, a specimen from Phnom Aural (LSUHC 7370) reported by Grismer et al. (2007a), and a series from northern West Malaysia (LSUHC 6811, 6843, 7080, 7101, 7106, 7113–14, 7118–19, 7121–22, 7151, 7170–72) in having the supranasals slightly separated; a postnasal; prefrontals in contact; first loreal higher than second; no transparent disc in the lower eyelid; dorsals tricarinate; 30–32 longitudinal scale rows around midbody (30–34 in Taylor’s material); and flanks dark with ocelli.

All specimens were observed foraging in open areas except for LSUHC 7798, which was found beneath a log. This species is common in both disturbed and undisturbed environments and has been reported from the central Cardamoms by Daltry & Chenang (2000), Stuart & Emmett (2006), Long et al. (2001) and Daltry & Traeholt (2003), and from the northeastern Cardamoms by Grismer et al. (2007a).
