Eumeces Schnederi
The genus ''Eumeces'' (family (biology), family Scincidae) comprises four African to Middle-Eastern skink species. Systematics Recently two taxonomic revisions have been made regarding the 19th century genus ''Eumeces''. They both resulted in similar results; the genus is paraphyletic and must be "sliced up" into several different genus, genera. Griffith ''et al.'' (2000) proposed that the type species for ''Eumeces'', ''E. pavimentatus'', which is considered by many to be a subspecies of ''Eumeces schneiderii'', should be changed to ''Lacerta fasciata'', so that the genus name ''Eumeces'' would stay with the most species-rich clade. However, this petition has not been verified by the International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature. Schimtz ''et al.'' argued that Griffith ''et al.'' violated the Code and rejected the proposal on good grounds. Thus only the African species of the ''Eumeces schneiderii'' group belong to the genus ''Eumeces''. Within ''Eumeces'' the following sp ...
