The species is found in New Guinea and Australia.[2] EtymologyThe specific name, finschi, is in honor of German naturalist Friedrich Hermann Otto Finsch (1839-1917).[4] Geographic rangeFinsch's monitor was only known from Blanche Bay, Ralum, and Massawa in New Britain.[5][6] Further research on the available museum specimens enlarged the range of the species, which currently includes the Bismarck Archipelago (New Ireland), New Guinea and Queensland, Australia.[7][8] The specimen from Queensland lacks any fixed data on its locality, so the exact distribution of Finsch's monitor in Northern Australia remains unknown.[2] Pet tradeReports of this species, V. finschi, imported for the pet trade from the Kei Islands are erroneous and refer to similar though distinct animals which have yet to be formally described.{{citation needed|date=February 2015}} HabitatV. finschi is found in several habitats: mangrove forest, inland forest, fresh-cut clearings, coconut plantations, and rocky beaches.[9]TaxonomyV. finschi belongs to the subgenus Euprepiosaurus along with the closely related Ceram mangrove monitor, Varanus (Euprepiosaurus) cerambonensis, and the peach-throated monitor, Varanus (Euprepiosaurus) jobiensis.[10]DescriptionThe dorsal pattern of Varanus finschi adults consists of "black ocelli, which are often arranged in irregular transverse rows - with a yellowish center on a dark grayish background."[2] The dark head of V. finschi is speckled with many yellowish spots. Its tongue color is pink.[11] Conservation statusFinsch's monitor is of Least Concern as evaluated by the IUCN.[12] References1. ^Zipcodezoo 2. ^1 2 3 {{cite web|url=http://www.monitor-lizards.net/species/euprepiosaurus/finschi.html|title=Monitor-lizards.net|accessdate=28 April 2010|deadurl=yes|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20100519024310/http://www.monitor-lizards.net/species/euprepiosaurus/finschi.html|archivedate=19 May 2010|df=}} 3. ^"Varanus finschi ".
