Treatment

A western Palearctic genus of small-sized skinks with 10 currently recognized species, two of which occur in Iran. The genus appears sister to the central and east-Asian Asymblepharus , although only one representative of each genus was analyzed ( Pyron et al. 2013). For the time being there is no phylogenetic study where both the Iranian species would be included at once.
