The four-lined skink ''(Plestiodon tetragrammus)''〔(''Plestiodon tetragrammus'' ), The Reptile Database〕 is a species of lizard, which is endemic to North America. It is a medium-sized member of the ''Plestiodon'' skinks. ==Taxonomy== At least two subspecies are recognized, including the nominotypical subspecies: * Long-lined skink, ''P. t. tetragrammus'' Baird, 1859 * Short-lined skink, ''P. t. brevilineatus'' (Cope, 1880) Some herpetologists also consider the mountain skink (''Plestiodon callicephalus'') to be a subspecies of ''Plestiodon tetragrammus'' under the name ''P. t. callicephalus''. Others, however, prefer to treat the mountain skink as a distinct species because its range is geographically distinct and there are morphological differences. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Plestiodon tetragrammus」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
