Acontias, the lance skinks, is a genus of limbless skinks (family Scincidae) from Africa. A genus (plural genera from Γένος Latin genus "descent family type gender" is a low-level Taxonomic Skinks are the most diverse group of Lizards They make the family Scincidae which shares the superfamily or infraorder Scincomorpha with several other In Biological classification, family ( Latin Skinks are the most diverse group of Lizards They make the family Scincidae which shares the superfamily or infraorder Scincomorpha with several other Most are small animals, but the largest member of the genus is Acontias plumbeus at approximately 40 cm. A centimetre ( American spelling: centimeter, symbol cm) is a unit of Length in the Metric system, equal to one hundredth All members of this genus are live-bearing, sandswimmers with fused eyelids.
The subfamily Acontinae presently holds only this genus. In Biological classification, family ( Latin As the Scincinae are apparently paraphyletic, this might eventually change. Scincinae are a subfamily of six genera of Skinks The systematics is at times controversial In Phylogenetics, a group of organisms is said to be paraphyletic if the group contains its most recent common ancestor but does not contain all (Austin & Arnold 2006)
