Slavoia is an extinct genus of lizard from the Early Cretaceous of Mongolia (Dzunbain Formation[1]), and Late Cretaceous of Kazakhstan (Bostobe Formation[2]) and Mongolia (Barun Goyot Formation and Djadochta Formation).
There is only a single species S. darevskii,[3] and Slavoia has been suggested to be the oldest known relative of amphisbaenians.
