Morethia

Morethia is a skink genus of the order Squamata, commonly called Morethia skinks or firetail skinks, found in Australia. Listed alphabetically by specific name. Nota bene: A binomial authority in parentheses indicates that the species was originally described in a genus other than Morethia. The specific names, butleri and storri, are in honor of two Australians: naturalist William Henry 'Harry' Butler, and herpetologist Glen Milton Storr, respectively.
