Pseudemoia cryodroma, also known commonly as the alpine bog skink, is a species of lizard in the family Scincidae. The species is endemic to Victoria in Australia. [2]
The preferred natural habitats of P. cryodroma are freshwater wetlands, grassland, shrubland, and forest, at altitudes of at least 1,100 m (3,600 ft). [1]
P. cryodroma is viviparous. [2]
P. cryodroma is known to hybridize with two other species in its genus, P. entrecasteauxii and P. pagenstecheri . [2]
Carinascincus is a genus of skinks, commonly called snow skinks or cool-skinks and residing mainly in Tasmania or Victoria, Australia. Then recognised as the genus Niveoscincus, it was found to belong to a clade with the genera Carlia, Lampropholis and others of the Eugongylus group within Lygosominae. Cogger has rejected the use of the junior name Niveoscincus and recognizes the valid senior generic name Carinascincus for the group. For similar skinks see genera Pseudemoia, Lampropholis, and Bassiana. These skinks have adapted to the cooler weather of southern Australia and particularly Tasmania, hence the common names.
Pseudemoia is a genus of skinks native to southeastern Australia. For similar skinks see genera Bassiana, Lampropholis, and Niveoscincus.
