Barbados Skink
Alinea lanceolata
Alinea lanceolata, the Barbados skink, is a species of skink found in Barbados. It is classified by the IUCN as being critically endangered, possibly extinct. Last recorded in 1889, it was probably driven to extinction by invasive mammalian predators, especially mongoose. It has only ever been documented from a small region on the south of Barbados, consisting of the localities of Greame Hall Swamp and Chancery Lane spread 8 km (5.0 mi) apart.

The skink is endemic to Barbados, where it has only been recorded from two localities in the far south of the island: Greame Hall Swamp and Chancery Lane. These two areas are only separated by a distance of around 8 km (5.0 mi).
