Chalcides Ebneri
''Chalcides ebneri'', also known commonly as Ebner's cylindrical skink, is a species of lizard in the family Scincidae. The species is endemic to Morocco. Etymology The specific name, ''ebneri'', is in honor of Austrian entomologist Richard Ebner (1885–1961). Beolens, Bo; Watkins, Michael; Grayson, Michael (2011). ''The Eponym Dictionary of Reptiles''.

It is threatened by some agricultural practices and habitat loss, and populations presumably continue to decline. Habitat ''C. ebneri'' is found in rocky areas near grassy ground cover. Reproduction The females of ''C. ebneri'' give birth to live young, by ovoviviparity. References Further reading * Pasteur G (1981).

Chalcides Chalcides
The Italian three-toed skink or the cylindrical skink (''Chalcides chalcides'') is a species of lizard found from Italy (including Sicily, Sardinia and Elba), to northern Algeria, Libya, Morocco and Tunisia. It is common in some locations and is usually found in sunny areas with dense vegetation (usually grass up to of height) but can also be found in arid areas. They reach about in length, out of which the tail constitutes more than half. Its body is long and snake-like, coloured usually between brown and olive and may have dark stripes on the back. Each of the highly reduced legs has three fingers. These skinks are active during daytime and prey mainly on insects. Females of the species give birth to live young. The population of this skink is slowly declining, but it has some tolerance to habitat modification. Description This skink superficially looks like a snake except for the possession of tiny limbs with three-toed feet, the middle toe of the hind foot being longer tha ...
