The Barrier skink, ''Oligosoma judgei'', is a species of medium-sized skink endemic to New Zealand where it lives in the alpine habitat of the Darran and Takitimu mountains of Fiordland. It is one of only 2 species of New Zealand skink that live ''exclusively'' in the alpine zone, the other being the "Sinbad skink", ''Oligosoma pikitanga'', a closely related species of similar appearance which is found in the same part of the South Island. The Barrier skink was first collected in the 1960s〔Jewell, Tony. (2008). ''A Photographic Guide to Reptiles and Amphibians of New Zealand''. (Photographs by Rod Morris). New Zealand: New Holland Publishers. 144 pp. ISBN 978-1869662035.〕 but was overlooked until rediscovery by a pair of mountain climbers in 2005; the species was scientifically described in 2009. ==Etymology== The specific name, ''judgei'', is in honor of Bronwyn Judge and Murray Judge, two New Zealand rock climbers who discovered this skink on Barrier Knob.〔Beolens, Bo; Watkins, Michael, Grayson, Michael. (2011). ''The Eponym Dictionary of Reptiles''. Baltimore: Johns Hopkins University Press. xiii + 296 pp. ISBN 978-1-4214-0135-5. (''Oligosoma judgei'', p. 137).〕
