A firm case can be made for the recent extinction of a large skink, Cyclodina northlandi, whose bones have been found in Northland (Worthy, 1991).

This species is known only from late Holocene subfossils in caves at two
locations in eastern Northland, one near Kaeo and the other near Waipu
(Worthy 1991) (Fig. 1). By association with other lizard fossils and terrestrial
molluscs, Worthy (1991) concluded that C. northlandi was an inhabitant of
dense forest with high rainfall and deep litter.
