Lankascincus , 1991 |
Lankascincus is a genus of skinks, commonly known as Lanka skinks. The genus is endemic to Sri Lanka.
The genus Lankascincus comprises ten species. Greer included six species of skinks when naming the genus in 1991. Since then, three new species have been described, and another species has been reassigned to this genus.
Nota bene: A binomial authority in parentheses indicates that the species was originally described in a genus other than Lankascincus.
