The Alpine Punjab Skink, Eurylepis taeniolata Blyth 1854,
ranges from Jordan to northwestern India (Feizi et al.
2016). Three subspecies are currently recognized, E. t. arabica
(Szczerbak 1990), E. t. parthianica (Szczerbak 1990), and
E. t. taeniolatus Blyth 1854 (Feizi et al. 2016). Eurylepis t.
taeniolatus occurs in Pakistan and northwestern India (type
locality: Punjab, Pakistan) (Feizi et al. 2016). This species has
been recorded from only a few locations in northwestern India
and accurate herpetofaunal records from Himachal Pradesh
are lacking (Griffith et al. 2000; Saikia et al. 2007, Datta-Roy
et al. 2017). Herein we report two additional records of E. t.
taeniolatus from Himachal Pradesh, India.
