It was first described in 1839 by André Marie Constant Duméril and Gabriel Bibron. It is endemic to the Philippines.〔 ==Description== ''Brachymeles bonitae'' is a small, elongated lizard with a snout-to-vent length of up to . It is a "non-pentadactyl" species, different populations having a varying number of digits on each tiny limb, normally in the range zero to two.〔 Features that differentiate it from other similar skinks include the 47 to 57 presacral vertebrae and the number of rows of scales present. It has a pineal eye spot. It is a fossorial species and can move through leaf litter and loose soil by "swimming". Adaptations in skinks for this type of lifestyle typically include a wedge-shaped snout, short head, elongated body, reduced limbs and a reduction in the number of digits.
