Sphenomorphus variegatus (Peters). 



Lygosoma (Hinulia) variegatum Peters, Mon. Berl. Ak. (1867) 20. 



Sphenomorphus variegatus Taylor, Lizards of the Philippine Islands 

 (1922) 184. 

 This species was collected at Zamboanga; at Port Holland and 

 Abung-abung, Basilan; and at various localities on Jolo. The 

 species occurs commonly in Mindanao and Sulu. I have stated 12 

 that the type locality is the Philippines. This is only a sup- 

 position, since Peters does not specifically so state and in his 

 paper 13 treats certain species that are not Philippine. It is, 

 however, very probably the type locality, and it would be a 

 matter for wonder if the species was not collected by Semper, 

 who collected for Peters, since it is very common wherever it 

 occurs in the Islands. 



No specimen has yet been collected on Palawan, although it 

 occurs in Borneo. I collected it on Cagayan Sulu, a small island 

 north of Borneo. It probably occurs also on Leyte and Samar, 

 but not farther north. 



Leiolopisma pulchellum (Gray)

Leiolopisma pulchellum Taylor, Lizards of the Philippine Islands 



Specimens of this diminutive species were collected on Pohllo 

 and on Mount Maquiling, Laguna Province, Luzon. The spec- 

 imens agree with each other very well in color and markings, 

 but differ in certain important scale characters.
