Centralian Slider

L. frosti is a species of Lerista which is distinguished by a small and slight form, eyelids that are movable, and a less distinct dark stripe at the midline of each side. The overall coloration is olive grey to brown at the upperside (dorsally), perhaps displaying greenish or red-brown tones, and with two or four rows of dark dot markings extending along the back. The dark pattern begins near the ear and ends along the tail, sometimes displaying light dot or dash marks. The limbs are functional, although the forelimbs are short at less than 6 mm (0.24 in), and each foot bears four digits. The tail is reddish brown, and the dark mid-line pattern from the ear becomes less well defined. The measured range of the snout-to-vent length (SVL) is 36–60 mm (1.4–2.4 in), giving an average of 47 mm (1.9 in). The coloration of this species has a close resemblance to another species of the genus, L. orientalis.

L. frosti is found in and around the McDonnell Ranges in central and southern Northern Territory, Australia.
