Taxonomy and systematics
The genus Concinnia belongs to the Australian that contains other such as , and the water skinks. This genus was raised by Skinner et al.(2013) based on molecular phylogenetic analysis of mitochondrial and nuclear DNA sequences, which showed that five sampled species from the Eulamprus tenuis group formed a well supported clade with the then monotypic genera and . Wells and Wellington (1983) coined the name Concinnia and applied it to the Eulamprus tenuis group delimited by Greer (1989). Although this tenuis group may form a clade it did not receive strong support in molecular phylogenetic analyses, with C. amplus and C. frerei forming deep lineages of uncertain position relative to C. queenslandiae and C. spinosus. Consequently, Skinner et al. (2013) united the well supported broader clade, including Gnypetoscincus and Nangura in Concinnia, including C. frerei and C. sokosoma based on the work of O'Connor and Moritz (2003). Skinner et al. (2013) further restricted the genus Eulamprus to the assigned by Greer (1989) to the Eulamprus quoyii group and created two new genera, for species in Greer's (1989) Eulamprus murrayi group (including E. murrayi and E. tryoni), and for Eulamprus luteilateralis.


Species
There are currently 7 recognized species:
  • Covacevich & , 1980 – lemon-barred forest-skink
  • Concinnia brachyosoma (Lönnberg and , 1915) – northern barsided skink
  • Greer, 1992 – stout barsided skink
  • Concinnia martini Wells & Wellington, 1983 – dark barsided skink
  • Concinnia sokosoma Greer, 1992 – stout barsided skink
  • (Gray, 1831) bar-sided forest-skink, barred-sided skink
  • Concinnia tigrina (De Vis, 1888) – yellow-blotched forest-skink, rainforest water-skink

, described by Gray in 1838, is an unidentified lygosomine that may be .Shea & Michels (2008).
