Eumeces
The genus ''Eumeces'' (family Scincidae) comprises four African to Middle-Eastern skink species.
==Systematics==
Recently two taxonomic revisions have been made regarding the 19th century genus ''Eumeces''. They both resulted in similar results; the genus is paraphyletic and must be "sliced up" into several different genera. Griffith ''et al.'' (2000) proposed that the type species for ''Eumeces'', ''E. pavimentatus'', which is considered by many to be a subspecies of ''Eumeces schneideri'', should be changed to ''Lacerta fasciata'', so that the genus name ''Eumeces'' would stay with the most species-rich clade. However, this petition has not been verified by the International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature. Schimtz ''et al.'' argued that Griffith ''et al.'' violated the Code and rejected the proposal on good grounds. Thus only the African species of the ''Eumeces schneideri'' group belong to the genus ''Eumeces''.
Within ''Eumeces'' the following species are recognized:
*''Eumeces algeriensis''
*''Eumeces blythianus''
*''Eumeces schneideri''
Some species that were formerly considered ''Eumeces'' have now been assigned to new genera:
