Geoscincus is a monotypic genus of skinks: the only accepted species is Geoscincus haraldmeieri (Meier's skink). It is named after Harald Meier, a German herpetologist.[2] It is only known from two specimens collected near Coula, New Caledonia. The habitat has since been substantially modified, and the present status of the species is unknown.[1]
