Subdoluseps    is a recently described genus of Lygosomine skinks distributed in peninsular India and Southeast Asia. We conduct the first revision of Indian    Subdoluseps    based on range-wide sampling including 89 specimens from 33 localities. We use two mitochondrial and three nuclear markers, 58 morphological characters, and ecological data to reconstruct the evolutionary history of Indian    Subdoluseps    and assess their diversity and distribution, providing insights into lygosominin biogeography. We formally describe the Indian clade as a new genus,    Dravidoseps    gen. nov.  and name five new species from Tamil Nadu, India in an integrative taxonomic framework –    D.   gingeeensis    sp. nov. ,    D.   jawadhuensis    sp. nov. ,    D.   kalakadensis    sp. nov. ,    D.   srivilliputhurensis    sp. nov. , and    D.   tamilnaduensis    sp. nov. . We transfer    Riopa   goaensis   ,    Subdoluseps   pruthi    and    S.   nilgiriensis    to the new genus and designate neotypes for the former two. Members of    Dravidoseps    gen. nov.  are the first known viviparous skinks from peninsular India and the only known viviparous lygosominins apart from a few species of east African    Mochlus   . The   Lygosomini   have a Southeast Asian origin and began diversifying in the Eocene with three dispersals between India and Southeast Asia. Species level diversification in    Dravidoseps    gen. nov.  was likely driven by a combination of niche conservatism, paleoclimate and past forest distribution. The discovery of a new genus and five new species reiterates the high levels of diversity and endemism present in peninsular India and how much more remains to be discovered.
