Proscelotes aenea, also known as the montane skink, is a species of lizard. It is endemic to Mozambique.[1][2] After not having been recorded for over 100 years, in 2021 it was reported to have been rediscovered from the coast near Lumbo, after scientists managed to determine the exact location of its broadly defined type locality.[3][4]
