Amphiglossus is a genus of skinks, lizards in the family Scincidae.

[1] The genus Amphiglossus is usually placed in the subfamily Scincinae, which seems to be paraphyletic, however.

Probably quite close to Paracontias and possibly Androngo trivittatus, it belongs to a major clade which does not seem to include the type genus Scincus.

Some species which were formerly included in the genus Amphiglossus have been assigned to a more recently created genus, Madascincus Brygoo, 1982, some to the genera Flexiseps and Brachyseps, and some species have been synonymized with other species in the genus Amphiglossus.

[3] Nota bene: In the above list, a binomial authority in parentheses indicates that the species was originally described in a genus other than Amphiglossus.
