New distribution record and an updated map of Eutropis multifasciata (Kuhl, 1820) (Squamata, Scincidae) from Dhaka division, Bangladesh

Abstract

The Many-lined Sun Skink, Eutropis multifasciata (Kuhl, 1820), has so far been reported from seven localities in Bangladesh. We present the first record of this species from Faridpur district of the country. Our new record extends the distribution of the species by nearly 123 km from its nearest previously known record at Jahangiragar University, Dhaka district, and updates the distribution of this poorly known species in Bangladesh.
