Abstract
The modern classification of skinks is based on a nomenclature that dates to the 1970s. However, there are a number of earlier names in the family group that have been overlooked by recent workers. These names are identified and their validity with respect to the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature investigated, along with their type genera. In most cases, use of these names to supplant junior synonyms in modern day use is avoidable by use of the Reversal of Precedence articles of the Code, but the names remain available in case of future divisions at the tribe and subtribe level. Other names are unavailable due to homonymy, either of their type genera or the stems from similar but non-homonymous type genera. However, the name Egerniini is replaced by Tiliquini, due to a limited timespan of use of Egerniini. A new classification of the Family Scincidae is proposed, providing a more extensive use of Code-regulated levels of classification, including tribes and subtribes, and a detailed synonymy provided for each taxonomic unit.

Imprimerie Impériale, Paris, pp. 115–160. [The curious pagination and authorship of this publication reflects the chaotic writing of the natural history section of the Napoleonic Egyptian Expedition of 1798–1801, in which the two original naturalists, Étienne Geoffroy-Saint-Hilaire and Marie Jules-César Lelorgne de Savigny, made independent herpetological collections, and worked on them separately for over two decades before transferring responsibility to others in 1824—Étienne’s son Isidore in the former case, due to his father’s loss of interest in completing the text, and Victor Audouin in the latter case, due to neurological problems affecting de Savigny’s sight and mental state, but working with plates that were engraved and printed many years previously (Gillispie 1989). As a consequence, while Étienne is the nominal author on the first page of his account, his section ended on page 120, with the remainder of the account, in which some of the skinks were described, written by his son at the request of the Minister for the Interior (as noted on pp. 120). Other skinks were described in de Savigny’s section, written by Audouin. The dating of the various sections follows Sherborn (1897)]
