''Hemisphaeriodon'' is a genus of lizards containing only one species, ''Hemisphaeriodon gerrardii'', the pink-tongued skink. The genus ''Hemisphaeriodon'' is closely related to the genus ''Cyclodomorphus'', which contains some of the largest members of the skink family (''Scincidae''). In Australia ''H. gerrardii'' is called commonly the pink-tongued lizard. As suggested by these common names, its distinguishing characteristic is a pink tongue as opposed to the blue tongue of the closely related genus ''Tiliqua''. ==Eymology== The specific name, ''gerrardii'', is in honor of British herpetologist Edward Gerrard (1810-1910), who was Gray's "right-hand man" at the British Museum.〔Beolens B, Watkins M, Grayson M. 2011 ''The Eponym Dictionary of Reptiles''.
