Abstract

The overlap pattern between the upper and lower secondary temporal scales is an important systematic character in sphenomorphine skinks. The derived condition of the lower secondary temoral overlapping the upper secondary temporal concords with certain aspects of existing taxonomy, geography, and ecology. Partly on the basis of this character, the recently described genus Paralipinia is placed in the synonmy of Scincella.
