In recent study of Philippine forest skinks, Linkem et al. (2011) used molecular data to test the monophyly of previously hypothesized species groups within the genus Sphenomorphus. Results of the study indicated widespread taxonomic instability, and as a result, broad taxonomic changes were made to the genus, resurrecting available names as well as describing new genera. Sphenomorphus tagapayo is now recognized to be a member of the genus Parvoscincus.
Parvoscincus tagapayo can be distinguished from congeners by the following combination of characters (1) small body size (SVL 23.1–32.1 mm); (2) paravertebral scales 61–54; (3) midbody scales 28–30; (4) number of supraoculars contacting frontal 2; (5) Toe IV lamellae 9–11; (6) prefrontal scales in contact or separated; (7) frontoparietal scales fused; (8) venter yellow.
Parvoscincus tagapayo is known from the Sierra Madre Mountain Range of Luzon Island in the Philippines.
Luzon Pleistocene Aggregate Island Complex (PAIC; Brown and Diesmos, 2002).
SVL 23.1–32.1 mm

The specific name, tagapayo, is a Tagalog word meaning "wise entrusted friend, advisor, or mentor", referring to American herpetologist Walter Creighton Brown, in whose honor this species is named.[3]
P. tagapayo is found on the island of Luzon, Philippines.[1][2]
The preferred natural habitat of P. tagapayo is forest, at altitudes of 400–1,000 m (1,300–3,300 ft).[1]
The mode of reproduction of P. tagapayo is unknown.[2]
