Chalcides colosii, also known commonly as the Riffian skink[1] and Colosi's cylindrical skink,[2] is a moderate-sized species of lizard in the family Scincidae. The species is native to Morocco and some Spanish territories in northwestern Africa.[1] It is named after Giuseppe Colosi, former director of the Zoological Institute of the University of Florence.[2][3] It has been considered a subspecies of Chalcides ocellatus.[2][4][5] The females of the species give birth to live young.
