Observations on the small, specialised, fossorial and legless Punctuate Work-skink (Anomalopus (Vermiseps) swansoni) both in captivity and of museum specimens show: 1. A patchy distribution but with a range extension to the north-west. 2. Exclusive or near exclusive termite feeding. 3. Production of two or three young in late summer. 4. Possible thermoregulatory behaviour. 5. A longevity of at least ten years. 6. An indeterminate conservation status.
