    Abstract:

    Six adult and seven larvae (hatched out by a clutch of eggs, clutch size 7) forest skink lizards were collected at Lingnan Nature Reserve, Huangshan, Anhui, China from June to September 2011. The thirteen specimens are identified as Sphenomorphus incognitus which is a new lizard record to Anhui Province. The specimens are deposited at the Museum of Huangshan University.By checking 13 specimens, variations were founded: Rostral slightly concave; precloacals four, medial two enlarged sharply; tail slightly compressed, height/width of tail middle ratio ranging from 1.23 to1.71 (mean=1.49); dorsum brown with two lines dark speckles;dorsal tail tip of adult and larva brown. The finding of this species in Anhui will benefit us to further study on geographical distribution and morphological variation and ecology of S. incognitus.
