| Comment | Type species: Parvoscincus sisoni FERNER, BROWN & GREER 1997 is the type species of the genus Parvoscincus FERNER, BROWN & GREER 1997. Abundance: only known from its original description (Meiri et al. 2017). |
| Etymology | Named after Rogelio V. Sison, a herpetologist who was a taxidermist at the Philippine National Museum and now teaches taxidermy. The genus name was derived from "the Latin "parvus" - dwarf and "scincus" - lizard, in reference to the very small size of the species" (Ferner et al., 1997). |
