Lioscincus is a genus of skinks, lizards in the family Scincidae. The genus is endemic to New Caledonia. [1]
There are two species that are recognized as being valid. [1]
Eumecia is a genus of skinks found in Sub-Saharan Africa.
Feylinia is a genus of skinks. It is usually placed in the monotypic subfamily Feylininae.
Lipinia is a genus of skinks, lizards in the family Scincidae. Species in the genus Lipinia are commonly called lipinias.
Lubuya is a genus of skinks, lizards in the family Scincidae. The genus contains one species, Lubuya ivensii, known commonly as Ivens's skink, Ivens's water skink, or the meadow skink, which is endemic to Southern Africa.
Melanoseps is a genus of lizards, known commonly as limbless skinks, in the family Scincidae. The genus is endemic to Sub-Saharan Africa.
Panaspis is a genus of skinks, commonly called lidless skinks or snake-eyed skinks, endemic to Sub-saharan Africa.
Pseudoacontias is genus of skinks, lizards in the family Scincidae.
Scelotes is a genus of small African skinks.
Sepsina is a genus of skinks. The genus is endemic to southern Africa.
Tropidoscincus is a genus of skink. They are all endemic to New Caledonia.
Typhlacontias is a genus of legless, burrowing skinks in the family Scincidae, a genus endemic to Sub-Saharan Africa. Its sister group is the clade consisting of the genera Feylinia and Melanoseps.
Trachylepis is a skink genus in the subfamily Mabuyinae 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.
Scincinae is a subfamily of lizards. The subfamily contains 33 genera, and the genera contain a combined total of 284 species, commonly called skinks. The systematics is at times controversial. The group is probably paraphyletic. It is one of three subfamilies of the family Scincidae, the other two being Acontinae and Lygosominae.
The Cape Verde giant skink, also called Bibron's skink, Cocteau's skink, and lagarto in Cape Verdean Portuguese, is a recently extinct species of large lizard (skink) that was endemic to some of the Barlavento Islands of Cape Verde before disappearing in the 20th century.
Trachylepis bayonii, also known commonly as Bayão's skink, Bayon's mabuya, and Bayon's skink, is a species of lizard in the family Scincidae. The species is endemic to Africa. There are two subspecies.
Trachylepis ozorii is a species of skink, a lizard in the family Scincidae. The species is endemic to the island of Annobón in Equatorial Guinea.
Lioscincus steindachneri, also known commonly as the white-lipped forest skink or Steindachner's ground skink, is a species of lizard in the family Scincidae. The species is endemic to New Caledonia.
Phasmasaurus tillieri, commonly known as Tillier's maquis skink, is a species of lizard in the family Scincidae. It is endemic to New Caledonia.
Typhlacontias punctatissimus, also known commonly as the dotted blind dart skink, the speckled burrowing skink, and the speckled western burrowing skink, is a species of lizard in the family Scincidae. The species is native to southern Africa. Three subspecies are recognized.
