The generaLepidothyris,LygosomaandMochluscomprise the writhing or supple skinks, a group of semi-fossorial, elongate-bodied skinks distributed across the Old World Tropics. Due to their generalized morphology and lack of diagnostic characters, species- and clade-level relationships have long been debated. Recent molecular phylogenetic studies of the group have provided some clarification of species-level relationships, but a number of issues regarding higher level relationships among genera still remain. Here we present a phylogenetic estimate of relationships among species inLygosoma,MochlusandLepidothyrisgenerated by concatenated and species tree analyses of multilocus data using the most extensive taxonomic sampling of the group to date. We also use multivariate statistics to examine species and clade distributions in morpho space. Our results reject the monophyly ofLygosoma s.l.,Lygosoma s.s.andMochlus, which highlights the instability of the current taxonomic classification of the group. We, therefore, revise the taxonomy of the writhing skinks to better reflect the evolutionary history ofLygosoma s.l.by restrictingLygosomafor Southeast Asia, resurrecting the genusRiopafor a clade of Indian and Southeast Asian species, expanding the genusMochlusto include all African species of writhing skinks and describing a new genus in Southeast Asia.
