Proablepharus is a genus of lizards in the subfamily Eugongylinae of the family Scincidae. The genus is endemic to Australia.
Two species are recognized as being valid. [2]
Skinks are lizards belonging to the family Scincidae, a family in the infraorder Scincomorpha. With more than 1,500 described species across 100 different taxonomic genera, the family Scincidae is one of the most diverse families of lizards. Skinks are characterized by their smaller legs in comparison to typical lizards and are mostly found in different habitats except arctic and subarctic regions.
Amphiglossus is a genus of skinks, lizards in the family Scincidae.
Asymblepharus is a genus of skinks. The genus has been confused with and is very similar to Scincella.
Carlia is a genus of skinks, commonly known as four-fingered skinks or rainbow 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.
Cophoscincopus is a genus of skinks, lizards in the family Scincidae. The genus is endemic to West Africa. As suggested by the common name, species in the genus Cophoscincopus are semi-aquatic.
Ctenotus is a genus of skinks. The genus belongs to a clade in the Sphenomorphus group which contains such genera as Anomalopus and the close relatives Eulamprus and Gnypetoscincus.
Eugongylus is a genus of skinks in the subfamily Eugongylinae. It was previously recognised as namesake of the Eugonglyus group of genera within Lygosominae, where it occupied a quite basal position. Members of this genus are commonly called mastiff skinks or short-legged giant skinks.
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.
Leptosiaphos is a genus of skinks endemic to West Africa.
Lygisaurus is a genus of skinks, lizards in the family Scincidae.
Melanoseps is a genus of lizards, known commonly as limbless skinks, in the family Scincidae. The genus is endemic to Sub-Saharan Africa.
Menetia is a genus of skinks, lizards in the family Scincidae. The member species of the genus Menetia are endemic to Australia. They are ground-dwellers and live in open forests and open grasslands.
Notoscincus is a genus of skinks. They are commonly known as soil-crevice skinks or snake-eyed skinks.
Ophiomorus is a genus of Old World skinks. The limbs are either reduced or absent, depending on the species. They are sometimes known as limbless skinks or snake skinks. Members of the genus live under rocks or in underground burrows.
Phoboscincus is a small genus of skinks, lizards in the family Scincidae. There are two known species in the genus Phoboscincus. Both species are found on various island of New Caledonia.
Proscelotes is a genus of skinks. The genus is endemic to Africa.
Scolecoseps is a genus of skinks, lizards in the family Scincidae. The genus is endemic to East Africa.
Eugongylinae is a subfamily of skinks within the family Scincidae. The genera in this subfamily were previously found to belong the Eugongylus group in the large subfamily Lygosominae.
The red-tailed soil-crevice skink is a species of skink, a lizard in the family Scincidae. The species is endemic to Australia.
Proablepharus tenuis, also known commonly as Broom's small skink and the northern soil-crevice skink, is a species of skink, a lizard in the family Scincidae. The species is endemic to Australia.
