%X Osteological and morphological characters are used to divide the skinks traditionally placed in the catchall genus Leiolopisma and their relatives into three major groups comprising 22 genera. Group I includes Scincella, Ablepharus, Lobulia, gen. nov., Lipinia, and Prasinohaema, gen. nov.; Group II includes Eugongylus, Tachygia, Phoboscincus, gen. nov., Morethia, Emoia, Cryptoblepharus, Leiolopisma, Proablepharus, and Anotis; Group III includes Lampropholis, Geomyersia, Notoscincus, Carlia, Menetia, Panaspis, Cophoscincopus, and Afroablepharus. A diagnosis, generic key, and a discussion of broad phylogenetic relationships are provided for each major group, and a generic synonymy, diagnosis, list of species, range map and a discussion of distribution and intergeneric relationships are provided for each genus.
