Davewakeum is a genus of skinks.
This genus contains only one species.
In 2011 Siler et al. included the genus Davewakeum in the genus Brachymeles, creating the new combination, Brachymeles miriamae (Heyer, 1972).
The generic name, Davewakeum, is in honor of American herpetologist David B. Wake. The specific name, miriamae, is in honor of Miriam Heyer, who collected the holotype, and is the wife of American herpetologist .
