	Skink - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Skinks are the most diverse group of lizards.
		They make up the family Scincidae which shares the superfamily or infraorder Scincomorpha with several other lizard families, including Lacertidae (the "true" or wall lizards).
		Scincidae is the largest of the lizard families with about 1200 species.

	Digimorph - Chalcides ocellatus (ocellated skink)
		Chalcides ocellatus is a member of Scincidae, the largest 'family' of extant lizards (see also Eumeces fasciatus, the five-lined skink).
		Scincidae includes over 1200 species, occurring on all continents except Antarctica.
		Within Scincidae, Chalcides resides within Scincinae, a group that includes roughly 28 genera but may not be monophyletic.

		Here, ten additional saurian origins are recognized on the basis of unpublished and recently published evidence, three in the Iguanidae, two in the Scincidae, and one in each of the following groups: Agamidae, Chamaeleontidae, Anguidae, Xenosauridae, and Anillidae.
		As phylogenetic relationships are clarified, further origins seem likely to be detected, particularly in the Colubridae, Hydrophiidae, Scincidae, and Iguanidae.
		The discontinuous distribution of the origins of viviparity among the reptilian families supports the hypothesis that selective pressures, preadaptations, and constraints vary at high taxonomic levels.

	TM6 Dietary pathways through lizards of the Alligator Rivers Region, Northern Territory
		A broad survey of the diets of 46 species of terrestrial and arboreal lizards from the families Gekkonidae, Pygopodidae, Agamidae and Scincidae was carried out in the Alligator Rivers Region, and the diets of three of the species were examined in detail by monthly sampling near the Ranger uranium mine.
		The detailed dietary analyses for the three species Cryptoblepharus plagiocephalus and Ctenotus essingtonii (Scincidae) and Lophognathus gilberti (Agamidae) showed that the diet of Cryptoblepharus contained 13% by volume prey of aquatic origin, whereas those of the other two species contained virtually none.
		Most of the insects of aquatic origin eaten by lizards were chironomids (midges) and culicids (mosquitoes), which mature from aquatic larvae and disperse into terrestrial habitats.

		But although the family Scincidae accounts for 43% percent of the 67 saurians of the island with 29 described species out of which 23 species are endemic, only very little research has been done on the taxonomy, ecology and distribution of these tetrapod reptiles.
		The lack of clearly illustrated publications, the similarity in their overall colour patterns and the complex identification characters have resulted in field identification often being confused.
		Of the Sri Lankan Scincidae, the nine relict taxa belonging to Acontianinae (genera Chalsidospes and Nessia) are the most unique to the island as their closest relatives inhabit South Africa and Madagascar but not the adjacent Indian sub-continent.
