Iguania

Iguania is the suborder of Squamata (snakes and lizards) that contains the iguanas, chameleons, agamids, and "New World lizards" such as anoles and Phrynosomatidae. The Iguania form the sister group to the remainder of the squamata. They are largely arboreal and have primitively fleshy, non-prehensile tongues, but this condition is obviously highly modified in the chameleons. This clade includes the following :

Family Agamidae – Agamid Lizards, Old World Arboreal Lizards
FamilyChamaeleonidae – Chameleons
FamilyCorytophanidae – Helmet Lizards
FamilyCrotaphytidae – Collared Lizards, Leopard Lizards
FamilyHoplocercidae – Dwarf and Spiny Tail Iguanas
FamilyIguanidae – American Arboreal Lizards, Chuckwallas, Iguanas, Iguanids
FamilyOpluridae – Malagasy Iguanas
FamilyPhrynosomatidae – North American Spiny Lizards
FamilyPolychrotidae – Anoles and kin
FamilyTropiduridae – Tropidurid Lizards
