The book isn't necessarily shifty for having outdated taxonomy, it's just obsolete. (Well, it might be shifty for other reasons, but let's not go there!).

Weasel Skinks were described in 1874, but the genus Saproscincus wasn't created until 1984. It's a Wells and Wellington name, so some people have been reluctant to use it. I believe weasel skinks were originally in the genus Leiolopisma (some authors no longer count it as a valid genus), with the specific name of mustelina, not mustelinus. Between 1874 and 1984, I'm sure various people have put it in various genera.

Weasel skinks are very common in some parts of Melbourne. Not far from where I live (but just outside what I'd call 'my area'), there is a reasonably healthy population of them. There used to be an extremely dense population in Heidelberg, before the entire area was covered in concrete a few years ago.
