Ablepharus mahabharatus

The Mahabharat ground skink, Ablepharus mahabharatus, was described in 1998 by Eremchenko, Shah and Panfilov from the northern slope of the Mahabharat range along the Bhainse pass near Daman in central Nepal. It has also been listed as Asymblepharus mahabharatus and is rare (Wikipedia and Reptile Database).

A 2025 study in Salamandra describes the Himalayan Ablepharus as cryptic species complexes. The sources opened give no size, appearance, habitat, diet or breeding detail (Salamandra 2025).
