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. Also, 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. Similarly, ''Mabuya'' and ''Sphenomorphus'' are having species moved elsewhere even today. Obsolete genera include ''Euprepis''. ''Egernia'' group * ''Corucia'' – Solomon Islands skink * ''Cyclodomorphus'' * ''Egernia'' – (paraphyletic: including ''Bellatorias'', ''Liopholis'' and ''Lissolepis'', which are better regarded as distinct) * ''Tiliqua'' – blue-tongued skinks ''Eugongylus'' group * ''Bassiana'' (= ''Acritoscincus'') – "cool-skins" * ''Carlia'' – four-fingered skinks * ''Cryptoblepharus'' – snake-eyed skinks, shining-skinks * ''Emoia'' – emoias * ''Eugongylus'' – mastiff skinks, short-legged giant skinks * ''Lampropholis'' – Indo-Australian ground skinks * ''Leiolopisma'' * ''Niveoscincus'' – snow skinks, "cool-skins" * ''Oligosoma'' ''Mabuya'' group * ''Mabuya'' – American mabuyas ''Sphenomorphus'' group * ''Anomalopus'' – worm-skinks * ''Ctenotus'' – comb-eared skinks * ''Eulamprus'' – water skinks * ''Gnypetoscincus'' – Prickly Skink * ''Lipinia'' – lipinias * ''Sphenomorphus'' – common skinks (paraphyletic) Undetermined * ''Apterygodon'' (disputed) * ''Chioninia'' – Cape Verde mabuyas * ''Eremiascincus'' * ''Eutropis'' – Asian mabuyas (formerly in ''Mabuya''; ''Mabuya'' group?) * ''Glaphyromorphus'' * ''Hemisphaeriodon'' – pink-tongued skinks * ''Lamprolepis'' – tree skinks * ''Lerista'' * ''Lobulia'' * ''Lygosoma'' – writhing skinks * ''Saproscincus'' – shade skinks * ''Scincella'' – ground skinks * ''Trachylepis'' – Afro-Malagasy mabuyas (formerly in ''Mabuya''; ''Mabuya'' group?) * ''Tribolonotus'' – crocodile skinks (''Egernia'' group?) ''"Hinulia" elegans'', described by Grey in 1838, is unidentified, but may be ''Eulamprus tenuis''.〔 ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Lygosominae」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
