Pinoyscincus is a genus of skinks, lizards in the family Scincidae. All species in the genus are endemic to the Philippines. Species in this genus were previously assigned to the genus Sphenomorphus .
The following five species, listed alphabetically by specific name, are recognized as being valid: [1]
Nota bene : A binomial authority in parentheses indicates that the species was originally described in a genus other than Pinoyscincus.
Eulamprus is a genus of lizards, commonly known as water skinks, in the subfamily Sphenomorphinae of the family Scincidae. The genus is native to Australia.
Lipinia is a genus of skinks, lizards in the family Scincidae. Species in the genus Lipinia are commonly called lipinias.
Parvoscincus is a genus of skinks, lizards in the family Scincidae. The genus is endemic to the Philippines.
The genus Sphenomorphus – vernacularly also known as the common skinks – currently serves as a "wastebin taxon" for numerous skinks. While most or all species presently placed here are probably rather close relatives, the genus as presently delimited is likely to be not monophyletic and is in need of review. Some species in this genus have been moved to Pinoyscincus.
Sphenomorphus dussumieri, commonly known as Dussumier's forest skink and Dussumier's litter skink, is a species of skink, a lizard in the family Scincidae. The species is endemic to southern India.
Lygosominae is the largest subfamily of skinks in the family Scincidae. The subfamily can be divided into a number of genus groups. If the rarely used taxonomic rank of infrafamily is employed, the genus groups would be designated as such, but such a move would require a formal description according to the ICZN standards.
Eutropis is a genus of skinks belonging to the subfamily Mabuyinae. For long, this genus was included in the "wastebin taxon" Mabuya; it contains the Asian mabuyas. They often share their habitat with the related common skinks (Sphenomorphus), but they do not compete significantly as their ecological niches differ. This genus also contains the only member of the subfamily to occur in Australasia, the many-lined sun skink, whose wide range includes New Guinea.
Lankascincus deignani, commonly known as Deignan's tree skink and the Deignan tree skink, is a species of lizard in the family Scincidae. The species is endemic to the island of Sri Lanka.
Otosaurus cumingii, commonly called Cuming's sphenomorphus or the Luzon giant forest skink, is a species of skink, a lizard in the family Scincidae. The species is endemic to the Philippines.
Concinnia is a genus of skinks in the subfamily Lygosominae.
Tytthoscincus is a genus of skinks. Originally defined to include a few species from the Philippines, the genus now includes many species from South-East Asia in general.
Sphenomorphinae is a large subfamily of skinks, lizards within the family Scincidae. The genera in this subfamily were previously found to belong to the Sphenomorphus group in the large subfamily Lygosominae.
Insulasaurus wrighti, also known commonly as Wright's sphenomorphus, is a species of skink, a lizard in the family Scincidae. The species is endemic to Palawan in the Philippines.
Parvoscincus beyeri, also known commonly as Beyer's sphenomorphus, is a species of skink, a lizard in the family Scincidae. The species is endemic to the Philippines.
Pinoyscincus abdictus is a species of skink, a lizard in the family Scincidae. The species is endemic to the Philippines. There are two recognized subspecies.
Cox's sphenomorphus is a species of skink, a lizard in the family Scincidae. The species is endemic to the Philippines. There are two recognized subspecies.
Jagor's sphenomorphus is a species of skink, a lizard in the family Scincidae. The species is endemic to the Philippines. There are two recognized subspecies.
Pinoyscincus llanosi, also known commonly as the Leyte sphenomorphus, is a species of skink, a lizard in the family Scincidae. The species is endemic to the Philippines.
The Mindanao sphenomorphus is a species of skink, a lizard in the family Scincidae. The species is endemic to the Philippines.
Tytthoscincus butleri, also known commonly as Butler's forest skink, is a species of lizard in the family Scincidae. The species is native to Malaysia and Thailand.
