There is only one species known of the genus Neoseps, the Neoseps reynoldsi, commonly known as the (Florida) Sand Skink. The species has been described by Leonhard Hess Stejneger in 1910 and named in honor of one A. G. Reynolds, who had collected the holotype. A unique lizard adapted to an underground existence, the Sand Skink measures 10 to 13 cm (4 to 5 inches) in length and has a gray to tan color. Its forelegs are tiny and bear only one toe; its hindlegs are small and have two toes. The tail comprises about half of the animal's total length. The Sand Skink has a wedge-shaped head, a partially countersunk lower jaw, body grooves into which the forelegs can be folded, and small eyes which have transparent windows in the lower lids. These features enable the lizard to swim beneath the surface of loose sand. The diet of this species consists of surface-dwelling invertebrates, including beetle larvae, termites, Spiders, and larval antlions.

They live in northwest of Asia and the northern parts of Africa. They like to live in an area where its flat is and one that hasn't got a lot of vegetation, basically they like deserts. They also try to avoid places with sand dunes as they tend to lack in the food department.
