Concinnia
''Concinnia'' is a genus of skinks in the subfamily Lygosominae. Taxonomy and systematics The genus ''Concinnia'' belongs to the Australian Sphenomorphid clade that contains other genera such as ''Ctenotus'', ''Anomalopus'' and the ''Eulamprus'' water skinks. This genus was raised by Skinner et al.(2013) based on molecular phylogenetic analysis of mitochondrial and nuclear DNA sequences, which showed that five sampled species from the ''Eulamprus tenuis'' group formed a well supported clade with the then monotypic genera '' Gnypetoscincus'' and ''Nangura''. Wells and Wellington (1983) coined the name ''Concinnia'' and applied it to the ''Eulamprus tenuis'' group delimited by Greer (1989). Although this ''tenuis'' group may form a clade it did not receive strong support in molecular phylogenetic analyses, with ''C. amplus'' and ''C. frerei'' forming deep lineages of uncertain position relative to ''C. queenslandiae'' and ''C. spinosus''. Consequently, Skinner et al. (2013) united ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Eulamprus
''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. Taxonomy The genus ''Eulamprus'' belongs to a clade in the ''Sphenomorphus'' group that contains other genera such as ''Ctenotus'' and ''Anomalopus''. The molecular phylogenetic studies of O'Connor and Moritz (2003) and Skinner et al. (2013) found that species assigned to ''Eulamprus'' comprised four independent lineages within the Australian ''Sphenomorphus'' group and did not form a clade. The genus ''Eulamprus'' was restricted to the water skinks, with other species assigned to ''Concinnia'' (including species formerly in the monotypic genera '' Gnypetoscincus'' and ''Nangura''), '' Silvascincus'' and '' Tumbunascincus''. Species The following five species are recognized as being valid. [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Nangura
''Nangura spinosa'', the Nangur spiny skink or Nangur skink, is a lizard known from two patches of dry-rainforest in South East Queensland, Australia. It was formerly placed in the monotypic genus ''Nangura'' but was moved to ''Concinnia'' following the molecular phylogenetic studies of O'Connor & Moritz (2003) and Skinner and co-authors (2013). It was returned to ''Nangura'' in 2018. This species is known only from two localities; the type locality, now in Nangura National Park, and a much smaller isolated population in Oakview National Park and adjacent Oakview State Forest. The total distribution spans just 42 square kilometers, within which this species occupies less than 4 square kilometers, with an estimated population size of less than 200 individuals. It is threatened by invasive species including cats, pigs, dogs, foxes and cane toads, by the invasive plant species Lantana camara, which increases fire risk and changes forest structure, and in some sites by logging and road ...

Skink
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 found in different habitats except arctic and subarctic regions. Description Skinks look like lizards of the family Lacertidae (sometimes called ''true lizards''), but most species of skinks have no pronounced neck and relatively small legs. Several genera (e.g., ''Typhlosaurus'') have no limbs at all. This is not true for all skinks, however, as some species such as the red-eyed crocodile skink have a head that is very distinguished from the body. These lizards also have legs that are relatively small proportional to their body size. Skinks' skulls are covered by substantial bony scales, usually matching up in shape and size, while overlapping. Other gen ...
