Morethia is a skink genus of the order Squamata, commonly called Morethia skinks or firetail skinks, found in Australia.
Listed alphabetically by specific name.
Nota bene: A binomial authority in parentheses indicates that the species was originally described in a genus other than Morethia.
The specific names, butleri and storri, are in honor of two Australians: naturalist William Henry "Harry" Butler, and herpetologist Glen Milton Storr, respectively.
