The Micronesia black skink (Emoia arnoensis) is a species of lizard in the family Scincidae. It is found in Micronesia, likely limited within the Marshall Islands, Nauru, and Kosrae. [1] [2] [3] [4] There is debate on whether the Nauru population is a subspecies, due to its larger amount of middorsal scales. [3] [4]
Habitat
E. arnoensis is strongly terrestrial, typically in thickly weeded or vine covered open habitats. [4]
