One adult female specimen of the Sandfish Skink (Scincus scincus conirostris) was collected in southeastern Iran during fieldwork on 20 January 2009. Interestingly, the new locality of the species is situated approximately 700 km east of the nearest previously known locality. This record indicates a larger distribution of Scincus scincus conirostris on the Iranian plateau than previously known. Information on morphological characters and habitat are presented herein.
