Genus of lizards

This article is about a genus vernacularly known as common skinks. For the common skink from New Zealand, see [Oligosoma polychroma](/source/Oligosoma_polychroma).

Sphenomorphus Sphenomorphus nigrolabris Scientific classification Kingdom: Animalia Phylum: Chordata Class: Reptilia Order: Squamata Family: Scincidae Subfamily: Sphenomorphinae Genus: Sphenomorphus Fitzinger, 1843 Species Presently 116, but see text Synonyms Hinulia Gray, 1845 Spenopmorphus [sic] (lapsus)

The [genus](/source/Genus) ***Sphenomorphus*** – vernacularly also known as the **common skinks** – currently serves as a "[wastebin taxon](/source/Wastebin_taxon)" for numerous [skinks](/source/Skink). While most or all [species](/source/Species) presently placed here are probably rather close relatives, the genus as presently delimited is likely not to be [monophyletic](/source/Monophyletic) and needs review.[1] Some species in this genus have been moved to *[Pinoyscincus](/source/Pinoyscincus)*.

The namesake of the *Sphenomorphus* group of [Lygosominae](/source/Lygosominae) [genera](/source/Genus), most species would probably occupy a rather [basal](/source/Basal_(biology)) position therein.[2]
