The yellow-striped slender tree skink (Lipinia pulchella) is a species of skink endemic to the Philippines. It is found at elevations of 250–1100 m above sea level throughout the whole country, though its three subspecies occupy smaller geographical regions, which do not necessarily overlap. The skink is found on trunks of trees in the dipterocarp or submontane tropical moist forests.[1]
