SepsinaSepsina is a genus of skinks. The genus is endemic to southern Africa.TaxonomyThis genus is presently placed in the subfamily Scincinae, a subfamily which seems to be paraphyletic however. Sepsina belongs to a major clade of this group which does not seem to include the type genus Scincus. Thus, it will probably be eventually assigned to a new, yet-to-be-named subfamily.SpeciesThe following five species are recognized:Sepsina alberti Hewitt, 1929 – Albert's skink, Albert's burrowing skink Sepsina angolensis Bocage, 1866 – Angola skinkSepsina bayonii – Bayon's skinkSepsina copei Bocage, 1873 – sepsina skink, Cope's reduced-limb skink Sepsina tetradactyla W. Peters, 1874 – four-fingered skink
