About Asian Forest Skink (Sphenomorphus sp)

  • Kingdom: Animals
  • Phylum: Chordates
  • Class: Reptiles
  • Order: Lizards and Snakes
  • Family: Skinks

The genus Sphenomorphus – vernacularly also known as the common skinks – currently serves as a "wastebin taxon" for numerous skinks. While most or all species presently placed here are probably rather close relatives, the genus as presently delimited is likely not to be monophyletic and needs review. Some species in this genus have been moved to Pinoyscincus.
