Previous taxonomic assessments of species in this genus recognized six groups of species that shared similar morphologies (see Brown and Alcala, 1980). Subsequent analyses of morphology and phylogenetic studies have not supported the monophyly of these species groups, and large taxonomic revisions are needed in this diverse group of ground skinks to sort out the true species diversity and appropriate generic assignments of its members. This species has traditionally been considered a member of Group 1 species in the genus Sphenomorphus. Group 1 species were diagnosed as moderate sized, brownish species, with a greater number of scale rows (90 or more) between the parietals and the base of the tail (Brown and Alcala, 1980).
In recent study of Philippine forest skinks, Linkem et al. (2011) used molecular data to test the monophyly of previously hypothesized species groups within the genus Sphenomorphus. Results of the study indicated widespread taxonomic instability, and as a result, broad taxonomic changes were made to the genus, resurrecting available names as well as describing new genera. Sphenomorphus beyeri is now recognized to be a member of the genus Parvoscincus.
Parvoscincus beyeri can be distinguished from congeners by the following combination of characters (1) medium body size (SVL 57.8–72.9 mm); (2) paravertebral scales 88–102; (3) midventral scales 38–43; (4) midbody scales 38–42; (5) number of supraoculars contacting frontal 2; (6) Toe IV lamellae 18–21; (7) prefrontal scales separated; (8) frontoparietal scales fused; (9) venter bright golden yellow.
Parvoscincus beyeri is known only from Mt. Banahao on Luzon Island in the Philippines.
Luzon Pleistocene Aggregate Island Complex (PAIC; Brown and Diesmos, 2002).
SVL 57.8–72.9 mm
Philippines, Luzon Island, Quezon Province, Municipality of Tayabas, Mt. Banahao: CAS 61183, collected by E. H. Taylor, 31 May 1920 at approximately 1500 m (Brown et al., 2010).
Parvoscincus beyeri, also known commonly as Beyer's sphenomorphus, is a species of skink, a lizard in the family Scincidae. The species is endemic to the Philippines.[2]
The specific name, beyeri, is in honor of American ethnologist Henry Otley Beyer.[3]
In the Philippines, P. beyeri is found on the island of Luzon.[1][2]
The preferred natural habitat of P. beyeri is forest, at altitudes of 1,000–1,600 m (3,300–5,200 ft).[1]
Large for its genus, P. beyeri may attain a snout-to-vent length (SVL) of 7.3 cm (2.9 in). Dorsally, it is brown with white spots. Ventrally, it is bright golden yellow.[2]
P. beyeri hides in leaf litter and thick moss, and under rotten fallen logs, on the forest floor.[1]
The mode of reproduction of P. beyeri is unknown.[2]
