Monard's skink (Trachylepis monardi) is a species of skink. It is endemic to Angola. It is named after Albert Monard [fr], the original species descriptor; the current name is a replacement name to solve secondary homonymy with Euprepis angolensis Bocage, 1872 [=Trachylepis varia (Peters, 1867)].[1]
