Chalcides mionecton, the mionecton skink[1] or Morocco cylindrical skink,[2] is a species of skink in the family Scincidae.[2] It is found only in Morocco.[1][2]
There are two subspecies:[2][3]
- Chalcides mionecton mionecton (Boettger, 1874)
- Chabanaud, 1917 Chalcides mionecton trifasciatus
Genetic data suggest that these should be considered separate species, but they are not separable using external morphological characteristics.[3]
Its natural habitats are sandy shores, arable land, pastureland, and rural gardens. It is threatened by habitat loss.
