Heremites septemtaeniatus (Reuss, 1834) Southern Grass Skink

Species affiliation and genus name of a few Middle- Eastern skinks were obscure for a long time. Karin et al. (2016) replaced them into the old genus name Heremites to solve polyphyly. Bahmani et al. (2017) solved the auratus-septemtaeniatus problem for this region.
