Default Sinbad Skink: Oligosoma pikitanga

Here's a photo of an amazing, newly described (200 species of New Zealand skink. The description was published in Zootaxa. I have a hard copy only of the paper unfortunately. This extremely rare skink shares its limited range in Fiordland, South Island with some of the rarest species of Hoplodactylus and Naultinus, both described and undescribed.

Update...I have a digital copy of the paper describing this skink for anyone who's interested, as well as a digital copy of the paper describing Oligosoma judgei (The Barrier skink).
