It is found at elevations up to 1,800 m asl.

Conservation status: Least Concern.

30. Lygosoma samajaya Karin, Freitas, Shonleben, Grismer, Bauer, and Das, 2018

Common name: None.

Distribution and habitat: Malaysia ( Sarawak) as the type locality. The current survey revealed a new distribution record for this species in Riau Province, Sumatra. This species specifically dwells in heath forests, dipterocarp forests, and peat swamp forests. It is also presumed as a semi-fossorial species as suggested by its elongate morphology.

Conservation status: Not known.

31. Sphenomorphus cyanolaemus Inger and Hosmer, 1965 Common name: Blue-headed Forest Skink, Blue-throat- ed Litter Skink.

Distribution and habitat: Peninsular Malaya, Sumatra, and Borneo. This species inhabits lowland rainforest up to 850 m asl. This slender-bodied skink largely remains on the forest floor, searching amongst leaf litter for its prey; but is also known to climb short distances up tree trunks. It probably feeds on forest floor insects.

Conservation status: Least Concern.
