Eulamprus, the water skinks, are a genus of skinks in the subfamily Lygosominae. The genus Eulamprus belongs to a clade in the Sphenomorphus group that contains other genera such as Ctenotus and Anomalopus. Even closer related to Eulamprus than these two genera, seems to be Gnypetoscincus queenslandiae (the prickly skink).
