Scincinae
Scincinae is a subfamily of lizards. The subfamily contains 33 genera, and the genera contain a combined total of 284 species, commonly called skinks. The systematics is at times controversial. The group is probably paraphyletic.[1] It is one of three subfamilies of the family Scincidae, the other two being Acontinae and Lygosominae.
