Nubeoscincus is a genus of skinks in the subfamily Eugongylinae. [2] The genus Nubeoscincus is endemic to New Guinea. [1] [2] The genus name, derived from Latin nubes (=cloud) and scincus, refers to high elevations at which species in this genus occur. [1]
Nubeoscincus are medium-sized terrestrial skinks with short limbs and adults measuring 47–64 mm (1.9–2.5 in) in snout–vent length. [1]
