The nubbinned fine-lined slider (Lerista colliveri) is a species of skink, a lizard in the family Scincidae. The species is endemic to Queensland in Australia.[2]
The specific name, colliveri, is in honor of Frederick Stanley "Stan" Colliver (1908–1991), who was an Australian geologist and malacologist.[3]
The preferred natural habitats of L. colliveri are forest and savanna.[1]
Large for its genus, L. colliveri may attain a snout-to-vent length (SVL) of 8.4 cm (3.3 in), and a tail length of 12.7 cm (5.0 in). It has very reduced limbs. Each rear leg has only one digit, which has a claw, but each front leg is only a clawless "nubbin".[2][4]
L. colliveri is terrestrial and fossorial.[1]
