Other large lizard families, such as Gekkonidae (s.l.) and Iguanidae (s.l.), have been partitioned into multiple families in recent years, based mainly on evidence from molecular phylogenies. Subfamilies and informal suprageneric groups have been used for skinks, defined by morphological traits and supported increasingly by molecular phylogenies. Recently, a seven-family classification for skinks was proposed to replace that largely informal classification, create more manageable taxa, and faciliate systematic research on skinks. Those families are Acontidae (26 sp.), Egerniidae (58 sp.), Eugongylidae (418 sp.), Lygosomidae (52 sp.), Mabuyidae (190 sp.), Sphenomorphidae (546 sp.), and Scincidae (273 sp.). Representatives of 125 (84%) of the 154 genera of skinks are available in the public sequence databases and have been placed in molecular phylogenies that support the recognition of these families. However, two other molecular clades with species that have long been considered distinctive morphologically belong to two new families described here, Ristellidae fam. nov. (14 sp.) and Ateuchosauridae fam. nov. (2 sp.). Morphological diagnoses and species content for all nine families of skinks (Scincomorpha) are presented.10aClassification10aEvolution10aLizard10aReptile10aSystematics10aTaxonomy1 aHedges, Blair  uhttps://ablepharuslit.myspecies.info/node/200927nas a2200169   4500008004100000245012600041210006900167300001200236490000600248520037800254653001300632653001300645653001200658653001300670100001500683856005900698       2008                        eng d00a{Review of recent taxonomic and nomenclatural changes in European Amphibia and Reptilia related to Romanian herpetofauna}0 aReview of recent taxonomic and nomenclatural changes in European  a61–910 v23 aThe list of recent taxonomic and nomenclatural changes concerning Romanian amphibian and reptile species is presented in the light of new phylogenetic results.
