The eastern striped skink (Ctenotus robustus) is a species of skink found in a wide variety of habitats around Australia. [3] They are long-tailed, fast moving skinks that are quite large, growing to a maximum length of about 30 cm (including the tail which can make up around 2/3 of its length).
Ctenotus is a genus of skinks, lizards in the family Scincidae. The genus is endemic to Australia. The genus Ctenotus belongs to a clade in the Sphenomorphus group which contains such genera as Anomalopus and the close relatives Eulamprus and Gnypetoscincus.
Ctenotus spaldingi is a diurnal terrestrial skink (Scincidae) species of lizard, commonly known as the straight-browed ctenotus [2] [3] or Spalding's ctenotus. [4] Native to Australia the species is found in the northern areas of Australia, along the east coast, in the north and east of South Australia and throughout Victoria and in southern Papua New Guinea.
Ctenotus regius was first described by Glen Milton Store in 1970, [6] and has not since had a name revision.. The pale-rumped ctenotus is a member of the skink family (Scincidae), and the genus Ctenotus, often described as 'comb-eared' for its row of small scales on the anterior edge of its ears. [7]
The bar-shouldered ctenotus, scientifically known as Ctenotus inornatus, is a member of the Ctenotus inornatus species group, a putative clade of at least 11 nominal forms of large-bodied skinks that reach similar adult sizes, typically ranging from 85 to 110 millimeters in snout-vent length. [3]

However, unlike some other lizard species Leonhardi's ctenotus is diurnal and active during the hottest hours of the day [11] As a result, they have the highest active body temperature recorded for any skink species. [11] The home range of Leonhardi's ctenotus ranges from 20-60m, similar to the home range size for other Ctenotus species. [8]
The olympic ctenotus is a small terrestrial lizard of the Scincidae family, native to arid areas of inland Australia. Olympic ctenotus individuals can display a range of colourations, from beige to medium brown, and this is often complimented by a metallic lustre.
