Lygosoma
''Lygosoma'' is a genus of lizards, commonly known as supple skinks or writhing skinks, which are members of the family Scincidae. ''Lygosoma'' is the type genus of the subfamily Lygosominae. The common name, writhing skinks, refers to the way these stubby-legged animals move, snake-like but more slowly and more awkwardly. Geographic range Species of ''Lygosoma'' are found in India to southeast Asia. Taxonomy In the late 19th and early 20th century, ''Lygosoma'' was used as a "wastebin taxon", to which almost every newly described skink was assigned. Which specific species are contained within this genus is controversial because of its unresolved historic relation to two other closely related genera: ''Mochlus'' and ''Lepidothyris.'' Currently, there are 16 known species in ''Lygosoma'', 15 known species in ''Mochlus'', and three known species in ''Lepidothyris''. However, some species under the latter two genera are often listed under ''Lygosoma'', and ''Lygosoma'' was rec ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
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'' *'' Subdolu ...
