Contents:
54 species, all of which are endemic.
Endemism: 0%  100%
Remarks:
Previously regarded as a synonym of
Leiolopisma (e.g., Hardy 1977). Revalidated by Patterson & Daugherty (1995), who also designated Lygosoma moco Dumeril & Bibron 1839 as type species of the genus. This was later considered an invalid action by Chapple, Ritchie & Daugherty (2009), who regarded Tiliqua zelandica Gray 1843 as the type species. Previously, Wells & Wellington (1985) had revalidated Oligosoma, but only for some species of the genus, while the remaining species were placed in another revalidated genus, Lygosomella, and in two new genera, Girardiscincus and Robbisaurus. The latter three generic names are not currently considered valid (Chapple, Ritchie & Daugherty 2009). Until recently, Cyclodina was considered a valid genus.
