Spondylurus
The genus ''Spondylurus'' – vernacularly known as the Antillean four-lined skinks – is a Neotropical skink taxon including many species that are classified by four (occasionally three to six) dark dorsolateral stripes. This characteristic is known to fade in older individuals and colors when preserved shift from tans and browns to greens and blues, often causing confusion as to the true color.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=A new skink fauna from Caribbean islands (Squamata, Mabuyidae, Mabuyinae) )〕 Many of these species are extinct or endangered resulting from invasive predators such as the mongoose.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=24 New Species of Lizards Discovered on Caribbean Islands are Close to Extinction )〕 This genus is distributed throughout the West Indies including the Caicos Islands, Jamaica, Hispaniola, Puerto Rico, and the Lesser Antilles. ==Species list==
