Lampropholis, the Indo-Australian ground skinks or sunskinks, are a genus of skinks in the lizard subfamily Eugongylinae. The genus Lampropholis was previously found to belong to a clade with the genera Niveoscincus, Leiolopisma and others of the Eugongylus group within Lygosominae. They are found mainly in Indonesia and Australia. For similar skinks see genera Bassiana, Pseudemoia, and Niveoscincus.

The Burdekin Gap, named for the Burdekin River, is a biogeographical feature in Queensland, northeastern Australia, which separates populations of freshwater fishes and other water-dependent land animals, such as the delicate skink by a corridor of hot and dry habitat that acts as a barrier to genetic exchange. Birds, except those that are rainforest-dependent, are more likely to intergrade across the Gap.
Eugongylinae is a subfamily of skinks within the family Scincidae. The genera in this subfamily were previously found to belong the Eugongylus group in the large subfamily Lygosominae.
