Abstract

There are several papers related to the split of the genus Eumeces sensu lato into four distinct genera (Eumeces sensu stricto Wiegmann, 1834; Plestiodon Dum??ril & Bibron, 1839; Mesoscincus Griffith, Ngo & Murphy, 2000 and Eurylepis Blyth, 1854). From these, three important ones stand out. The genus has undergone extensive taxonomic changes. There was an initial morphologcial split which identified the correct four groups but failed to get the correct nomenclatures. These errors were later corrected. In a chronological order, Novoeumeces suggested as a new name for the schneiderii group and subsequently re-changed to the genus Eumeces s.s. North American-clade is now considered as Plestiodon. The name Eumeces (sensu stricto) was retained for the group close to the type species (Eumeces pavimentatus) which is part of the African-Central Asian clade. There are now only five species of Eumeces left. The others (old Eumeces) are now found in Eurylepis (2 species), Mesoscincus (3 species) and Plestiodon (47 species). A detailed story of these changes plus a brief comparison of current four genera based on mentioned morphological characters in the literatures are discussed in this paper.

1834年维格曼属和1854年布利斯属的分类学(蜥蜴亚:蛇尾科)述评
有几篇论文是关于将Eumeces sensu lato划分为四个不同的属的(Eumeces sensu stricto Wiegmann, 1834;Plestiodon Dum ? ?ril & Bibron, 1839;Mesoscincus Griffith, Ngo & Murphy, 2000; Eurylepis Blyth, 1854)。在这些问题中,有三点很重要。该属在分类学上发生了广泛的变化。最初的形态分裂确定了正确的四个类群,但未能获得正确的命名。这些错误后来被纠正了。按照时间顺序,Novoeumeces被认为是schneiderii类群的新名称,随后被重新命名为Eumeces s.s。北美的进化枝现在被认为是Plestiodon。在非洲-中亚分支中,与模式种(铺路种)接近的类群保留了euumeces (sensu stricto)这个名称。现在只剩下五种尤米塞斯了。其他的(旧的euumeces)现在在Eurylepis(2种),Mesoscincus(3种)和Plestiodon(47种)中被发现。本文对这些变化进行了详细的叙述,并根据文献中提到的形态特征对目前的四个属进行了简要的比较。
