Cryptoblepharus fuhni, also known commonly as the black-boulder shinning-skink, is a species of lizard in the family Scincidae. The species is endemic to Queensland in Australia.[1][2]
The specific name, fuhni, is in honor of Romanian herpetologist Ion Eduard Fuhn.[2][3]
Large for its genus and long-legged for its genus, C. fuhni may attain a snout-to-vent length of 5 cm (2.0 in).[2]
The preferred natural habitat of C. fuhni is black granite boulders.[1]
