Lygosoma is a genus of lizards, commonly known as writhing skinks, which are members of the family Scincidae. Lygosoma is the type genus of the subfamily Lygosominae.

Geographic range

Species of Lygosoma are primarily found in India, but some occur in nearby regions, such as the Philippines.

Behavior

The common name, writhing skinks, refers to the way these stubby-legged animals move, snake-like but slower and more awkwardly.

Taxonomy

In the late 19th and early 20th century, Lygosoma was used as a "wastebin taxon", to which almost every newly described skink was assigned.^[2]
