Additionaly we used museum material fixed in 10 % neutralized formalin and preserved in 70 ethanol. The confirmation of species identification was mainly based on the peculiarities of the scalation around the eyes (see Eremchenko a. Shzherbak, 1986). We also described character of the skink habitats together with plant composition and visually classi- fied the dominant substrate of the sites. Altitudes and slope exposition were also taken into consideration. All colonlected and museum specimens were mea- sured in mm according to Eremchenko and Shzherbak (1986); th
