Eutropis longicaudata, the longtail mabuya or long-tailed sun skink, is a species of skink.^[1]^[2]^[3] It is found in southern China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Laos, Vietnam, Thailand, Cambodia, and Peninsular Malaysia.^[1]^[2]^[4]

Some populations have been found to exhibit paternal care in response to predation by egg-eating snakes.^[5]
