Lizard genera

Carinascincus is a genus of skinks (family Scincidae), commonly called snow skinks or cool-skinks and residing mainly in Tasmania or Victoria, Australia. Then recognised as the genus Niveoscincus, it was found to belong to a clade with the genera Carlia, Lampropholis and others of the Eugongylus group within Lygosominae. Cogger has rejected the use of the junior name Niveoscincus and recognizes the valid senior generic name Carinascincus for the group. For similar skinks see genera Pseudemoia, Lampropholis, and Bassiana. These skinks have adapted to the cooler weather of southern Australia and

Pholidoscelis is a genus of lizards that belongs to the family Teiidae. All species are endemic to the West Indies.

Lophocalotes is a genus of lizards in the subfamily Draconinae of the family Agamidae. The genus, which is endemic to Sumatra, contains two species.

Toropuku is a genus of lizards in the family Diplodactylidae endemic to New Zealand. It includes two species:

Brachyseps is a genus of skinks. They are all endemic to Madagascar. Some taxonomic authorities place the group in the genus Amphiglossus.

Glaucomastix is a genus of lizards that belongs to the family Teiidae. The genus is endemic to Brazil.

Heremites is a genus of skinks.

Palaeosaniwa is an extinct genus of carnivorous lizard from the Late Cretaceous of North America. The type (and only) species, Palaeosaniwa canadensis, given by Charles Whitney Gilmore in 1928, means "ancient Saniwa from Canada".

Oreosaurus is a genus of lizards in the family Gymnophthalmidae. The genus is found in South America.

Pseudopus is a genus of anguid lizards that are native to Eurasia. One extant species remains, the sheltopusik, with four fossil species. They are the most robust members of subfamily Anguinae, with the largest species †P. pannonicus growing up to 2 metres in length. The oldest fossils of the group date to the Early Miocene, but there are possible Oligocene records.

Haackgreerius is a genus of skink, a lizard in the family Scincidae. The genus Haackgreerius is endemic to coastal Somalia and contains one species.

Psilops is a genus of lizards in the family Gymnophthalmidae. They are endemic to Brazil.

Monilesaurus is a genus of lizards in the draconine clade of the family Agamidae and is a new genus described in 2018. Currently it consists of 4 species, with 2 new species and 2 species split from the genus Calotes.

Afairiguana avius is an extinct iguanid lizard known from a nearly complete and articulated skeleton discovered in rocks of the Early Eocene-aged Green River Formation of Wyoming, United States. As of the initial description, the skeleton represents the oldest complete iguanian from the Western Hemisphere, and is the oldest representative of the extant iguanid family of anoles, Polychrotidae.

Gongylomorphus is a genus of skinks found in Mauritius. It is represented by only two surviving species.

Flexiseps is a genus of skinks. They are all endemic to Madagascar. Some taxonomic authorities place the group in the genus Amphiglossus.

Loxopholis is a genus of lizards in the family Gymnophthalmidae. The genus is endemic to South America.

Protoblepharus is a genus of skinks.

Ancylodactylus is a genus of diurnal (day) geckos in the family Gekkonidae. The genus is endemic to Africa. Most of the species in the genus Ancyclodactylus were formerly assigned to the genus Cnemaspis.

Austroablepharus is a genus of skinks endemic to Australia.

Dendragama is a genus of lizards in the family Agamidae. The genus is endemic to the Barisan Mountains of Sumatra in Indonesia and is found at altitudes above . Populations of Dendragama were discovered at the northern and southern ends of Sumatra. High genetic distances and concordance of multiple, apparently independent diagnostic characters support the descriptions of these two populations as new species. These species undergo remarkable color change in response to time of day and stress.
