Leptoseps is a genus of rare skinks, lizards in the family Scincidae. The genus is endemic to Southeast Asia.
Species in the genus Leptoseps are found in Thailand and Vietnam. [1]
The following two species are recognized as being valid. [1]
Dibamidae or blind skinks is a family of lizards characterized by their elongated cylindrical body and an apparent lack of limbs. Female dibamids are entirely limbless and the males retain small flap-like hind limbs, which they use to grip their partner during mating. They have a rigidly fused skull, lack pterygoid teeth and external ears. Their eyes are greatly reduced, and covered with a scale.
Physignathus is a genus of large, diurnal, arboreal, agamid lizards from Asia, commonly known as water dragons. This genus name is Greek for "inflated jaw". The single species in this genus is the Chinese water dragon P. cocincinus. The Australian water dragon was formerly included in Physignathus but recently this was placed in a distinct genus Intellagama as Intellagama lesueurii. Water Dragons, especially P. cocincinus, are sometimes kept as pets.
