Spondylurus haitiae, the Hispaniolan four-lined skink, is a species of skink endemic to Haiti.[1][2] It is only known from its type locality where it was last collected at around 1857โ€“1858. Considering the extensive field work in the area and the loss of suitable habitat, it is likely that this species is extinct.[1]
