Lampropholis
''Lampropholis'' is a genus of skinks, commonly known as sunskinks, in the lizard subfamily Eugongylinae of the family Scincidae. The genus ''Lampropholis'' was previously found to belong to a clade with the genera ''Niveoscincus'', ''Leiolopisma'' and others of the ''Eugongylus'' group within Lygosominae. All species of ''Lampropholis'' are endemic to Australia. For similar skinks see genera ''Bassiana'', ''Pseudemoia'', and ''Niveoscincus''. Diet Sunskinks feed on invertebrates such as crickets, moths, slaters (woodlice), earthworms, and cockroaches. Species The following 14 species are recognized as being valid.

Carlia
''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. Species The genus ''Carlia'' contains the following species ( n.b., a binomial authority in parentheses indicates that the species was originally described in a genus other than ''Carlia''): *''Carlia aenigma'' (Zug, 2004) – enigmatic rainbow skink *''Carlia ailanpalai'' (Zug, 2004) – curious skink *''Carlia amax'' (Storr, 1974) – bauxite rainbow-skink *''Carlia aramia'' (Zug, 2004) – Aramia rainbow skink *''Carlia babarensis'' ( Kopstein, 1926) *''Carlia beccarii'' ( W.

Carinascincus
''Carinascincus'' is a genus of skinks (family Scincidae), 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.Cogger (2014). 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. Species *''Carinascincus coventryi'' – southern forest cool-skink *''Carinascincus greeni'' – alpine cool-skink or northern snow skink *''Carinascincus metallicus'' – metallic skink or metallic cool-skink *''Carinascincus microlepidotus'' – boulder cool-skink or southern snow s ...

Lygosominae
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. Genera Several Lygosominae genera were notorious " wastebin taxa" in the past, with scientists assigning more or less closely related species to them in a haphazard fashion and without verifying that the new species were close relatives of the genera's type species. What was once placed in ''Lygosoma'', for example, is now divided among some 15 genera, not all in this subfamily. Similarly, ''Mabuya'' and ''Sphenomorphus'' are having species moved elsewhere. *''Haackgreerius'' (monotypic: endemic to coastal Somalia) *''Lamprolepis'' – tree skinks *''Lygosoma'' – writhing skinks *''Mochlus'' - African spp. (synonym ''Lepidothyris'') *''Riopa'' *''Subdoluseps' ...

Kuniesaurus
''Kuniesaurus albiauris'' is a species of skink endemic to New Caledonia. It is the only species in the monotypic genus ''Kuniesaurus''. It is only known from a small patch of dense coastal forest with limestone substrate on the Isle of Pines. Due to its very small and restricted habitat, it is highly threatened by invasive species such as the little fire ant. It has been proposed that ''Kuniesaurus'' be classified as Critically Endangered on the IUCN Red List The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List of Threatened Species, also known as the IUCN Red List or Red Data Book, founded in 1964, is the world's most comprehensive inventory of the global conservation status of biol ....
