Abstract
Standard and C-banded karyotypes of 101 specimens of the skink genus Lampropholis, including all but one of the 10 described species, were examined to assess the value of karyotypic data for resolving current systematic problems with Lampropholis. Diploid chromosome numbers were mostly 30 except for two forms with 28 chromosomes due to a reduction in the number of microchromosomes. The majority of interspecific chromosome changes were due to pericentric rearrangements. Apart from karyotypes referable to the described species, four distinct karyomorphs were found. Individuals possessing these karyomorphs could not be readily assigned to any of the described species.
