The earless skinks form the genus Hemiergis in the skink family Scincidae. All earless skinks are native to Australia.[1][2]
Species

There are seven species:[1][2]

Hemiergis decresiensis (Cuvier, 1829) — three-toed earless skink
Hemiergis gracilipes (Steindachner, 1870) — south-western mulch-skink
Hemiergis initialis (Werner, 1910) — southwestern earless skink
Hemiergis millewae Coventry, 1976 — Triodia earless skink
Hemiergis peronii (Gray, 1831) — four-toed earless skink, Peron's earless skink, or lowlands earless skink
Hemiergis quadrilineatus (Duméril & Bibron, 1839) — two-toed earless skink
Hemiergis talbingoensis (Copland, 1946) — eastern three-toed earless skink

Two additional species, H. graciloides and H. maccoyi, have been included in this genus but both are now classified in other genera.[3]
