Brachymeles burksi, the Burks' burrowing skink, is a species of skink endemic to the Philippines. It occurs on the islands of Mindoro and Marinduque. It was synonymized with Brachymeles bonitae by Walter C. Brown [fr] in 1956 but revalidated by Cameron D. Siler and colleagues in 2020.[1]
Brachymeles burksi measures 58–78 mm (2.3–3.1 in) in snout–vent length. It has short, digitless limbs (many Brachymeles are limbless).[1]
