We examined the holotype of Euprepes innotatus Blanford, 1870 which was presented to the Natural History Museum, London (NHMUK) by Blanford himself, and is redescribed herein. Based on the morphological similarity, we placed Eutropis innotata within the E. carinata group (contra Blanford, 1870), as it is closely allied to E. dissimilis and E. carinata in morphological and morphometric traits. Based on the current distribution pattern, we conducted Species Distribution Modelling using the Maximum Entropy algorithm and the distribution range of this species was predicted to be wider than the currently known limits within the south-central parts of the Deccan plateau. Furthermore, we updated the conservation status of E. innotata using the criteria of the IUCN Red List, and suggested it be considered as a species of Least Concern.
我们检查了 1870 年由布兰福德本人赠送给伦敦自然历史博物馆（NHMUK）的伊普雷普斯·因诺塔图斯的模式标本，并对其进行了重新描述。基于形态相似性，我们将伊普雷普斯·因诺塔图斯归入伊普雷普斯·卡拉纳塔组（与布兰福德 1870 年的分类观点相反），因为它在形态和形态特征上与伊普雷普斯·迪西米利斯和伊普雷普斯·卡拉纳塔密切相关。基于目前的分布模式，我们使用最大熵算法进行物种分布模型构建，预测该物种的分布范围比目前已知的德干高原中南部的范围更广。此外，我们根据 IUCN 红色名录的标准更新了伊普雷普斯·因诺塔图斯的保护状况，并建议将其视为低度关注物种。
