Lerista Lerista is a diverse genus of skinks endemic to Australia , commonly known as sliders . The genus is especially notable for the variation in the amount of limb reduction. The variation ranges from short-bodied forms with large legs bearing five toes, to elongate forms completely lacking legs. The body length of the lizards is. Their locomotion is linked to their body shape. The shorter skinks with prominent limbs travel on the surface; the longer skinks with reduced legs tend to burrow more. A phylogenetic tree of Lerista , derived from DNA analysis, reveals that limb loss has happened multiple times within this group. Limb loss has occurred relatively recently, in the past 3.6 million years or so.Species The following species are recognized as being valid.Note : a binomial authority in parentheses indicates that the species was originally described in a genus other than Lerista .Lerista aericeps - desert plain sliderLerista alia - Bulleringa fine-lined slider Lerista allanae - Allan's lerista, Allan's skink , greater robust fine-lined slider Lerista allochira - Cape Range slider Lerista ameles - limbless fine-lined sliderLerista amicorum - Fortescue three-toed sliderLerista anyara - Olkola slider skinkLerista apoda - Dampier Land limbless slider Lerista arenicola - bight slider Lerista axillaris - stripe-sided robust sliderLerista baynesi - Bayne's sliderLerista bipes - north-western sandsliderLerista borealis - inland Kimberley sliderLerista bougainvillii - Bougainville's skink Lerista bunglebungle - Bunglebungle robust sliderLerista carpentariae - Carpentaria fine-lined sliderLerista chalybura - Pilbara blue-tailed slider Lerista chordae - lyre-patterned sliderLerista christinae - bold-striped sliderLerista cinerea - vine-thicket fine-lined sliderLerista clara - sharp-blazed three-toed slider Lerista colliveri - nubbinned fine-lined sliderLerista connivens - blinking broad-blazed slider Lerista desertorum - Central Deserts robust slider Lerista distinguenda - south-western orange-tailed sliderLerista dorsalis - southern sliderLerista edwardsae - Myall sliderLerista elegans - elegant sliderLerista elongata - wide-striped mulch slider Lerista emmotti - Noonbah robust slider Lerista eupoda - Meekatharra slider Lerista flammicauda - Pilbara flame-tailed slider Lerista fragilis - eastern mulch-slider Lerista frosti - centralian sliderLerista gascoynensis - Gascoyne broad-blazed sliderLerista gerrardii - bold-striped robust sliderLerista greeri - south-eastern Kimberley sandsliderLerista griffini - stout sandsliderLerista haroldi - Gnaraloo mulch-sliderLerista hobsoni Lerista humphriesi - taper-tailed west-coast sliderLerista ingrami - McIvor River slider Lerista ips - robust duneslider Lerista jacksoni - Jackson's three-toed slider , Jackson's sliderLerista kalumburu - Kalumburu sliderLerista karlschmidti -lesser robust fine-lined slider Lerista kendricki - dark broad-blazed slider Lerista kennedyensis - Kennedy Range broad-blazed slider Lerista kingi - King's three-toed slider, King's sliderLerista labialis - southern sandsliderLerista lineata - Perth slider Lerista lineopunctulata - dotted-line robust slider , West Coast line-spotted lerista Lerista macropisthopus - unpatterned robust sliderLerista maculosa - spotted broad-blazed sliderLerista micra - micro three-toed slider , little sliderLerista microtis - south-western sliderLerista miopus Lerista muelleri - wood mulch-slider, Mueller's three-toed leristaLerista neander - Pilbara robust sliderLerista nevinae - Nevin's three-toed slider, Nevin's sliderLerista nichollsi - inland broad-blazed sliderLerista occulta - hidden three-toed slider, Carnarvon sliderLerista onsloviana - Onslow broad-blazed sliderLerista orientalis - north-eastern orange-tailed slider Lerista parameles - Chillagoe fine-lined sliderLerista petersoni - pale broad-blazed slider Lerista picturata - southern robust slider Lerista planiventralis - keeled sliderLerista praefrontalis - Yampi sandsliderLerista praepedita - western worm lerista, blunt-tailed west-coast sliderLerista punctatovittata - eastern robust slider Lerista puncticauda - dotty-tailed robust sliderLerista quadrivincula - four-chained sliderLerista robusta - brad-eyed sandsliderLerista rochfordensis - Rochford sliderLerista rolfei - Rolfe's three-toed slider, Rolfe's sliderLerista separanda - Dampierland plain slider Lerista simillima - Fitzroy sandsliderLerista speciosa - pale-striped mulch-sliderLerista stictopleura - spotted broad-blazed sliderLerista storri - Mount Surprise slider, Storr's leristaLerista stylis - Arnhem Coast fine-lined slider Lerista taeniata - ribbon slider, ribbon lerista Lerista talpina - phantom mole sliderLerista terdigitata - robust mulch-slider Lerista timida - dwarf three-toed slider, wood mulch-sliderLerista tridactyla - dark-backed mulch-sliderLerista uniduo - slender broad-blazed slider Lerista vanderduysi - leaden-bellied fine-lined slider Lerista varia - Shark Bay broad-blazed slider Lerista verhmens - powerful three-toed slider Lerista vermicularis - slender dunesliderLerista viduata - Ravensthorpe Range sliderLerista vittata - Mount Cooper striped lerista , side-striped fine-lined sliderLerista walkeri - coastal Kimberley sliderLerista wilkinsi - two-toed fine-lined slider Lerista xanthura - yellow-tailed plain slider Lerista yuna - Yuna broad-blazed sliderLerista zonulata - north-eastern orange-tailed slider
