Carlia is a genus of skinks, commonly known as four-fingered skinks, in the subfamily Eugongylinae. Before being placed in this new subfamily, Carlia was recovered in a clade with the genera Niveoscincus, Lampropholis, and others of the Eugongylus group within Lygosominae.

<i>Egernia</i> genus of reptiles

Egernia is a genus of skinks that occurs in Australia. These skinks are ecologically diverse omnivores that inhabit a wide range of habitats. However, in the loose delimitation the genus is not monophyletic but an evolutionary grade, as has long been suspected due to its lack of characteristic apomorphies.

<i>Eulamprus</i> genus of reptiles

Eulamprus is a genus of lizards, commonly known as water skinks, in the subfamily Lygosominae of the family Scincidae. The genus is native to Australia.

<i>Lampropholis</i> genus of reptiles

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.

<i>Lampropholis delicata</i> species of reptile

The delicate skink, dark-flecked garden sun skink, garden skink or plague skink is a skink of the subfamily Lygosominae, originally from Eastern Australia.

<i>Trachylepis</i> genus of reptiles

Trachylepis is a skink genus in the subfamily Lygosominae found mainly in Africa. Its members were formerly included in the "wastebin taxon" Mabuya, and for some time in Euprepis. As defined today, Trachylepis contains the clade of Afro-Malagasy mabuyas. The genus also contains a species from the Brazilian island of Fernando de Noronha, T. atlantica, and may occur in mainland South America with Trachylepis tschudii and Trachylepis maculata, both poorly known and enigmatic. The ancestors of T. atlantica are believed to have rafted across the Atlantic from Africa during the last 9 million years.
