1. iguania

   Iguania is an infraorder of squamate reptiles that includes iguanas, chameleons, agamids, and New World lizards like anoles and phrynosomatids. Using morphological features as a guide to evolutionary relationships, the Iguania are believed to form the sister group to the remainder of the Squamata, which comprise nearly 11,000 named species, roughly 2000 of which are iguanians. However, molecular information has placed Iguania well within the Squamata as sister taxa to the Anguimorpha and closely related to snakes. The order has been under debate and revisions after being classified by Charles Lewis Camp in 1923 due to difficulties finding adequate synapomorphic morphological characteristics. Most Iguanias are arboreal but there are several terrestrial groups. They usually have primitive fleshy, non-prehensile tongues, although the tongue is highly modified in chameleons. The group has a fossil record that extends back to the Early Jurassic (the oldest known member is Bharatagama, which lived about 190 million years ago in what is now India). Today they are scattered occurring in Madagascar, the Fiji and Friendly Islands and Western Hemisphere.

1. Iguania

   The Iguania are the suborder of Squamata that contains the iguanas, chameleons, agamids, and New World lizards, such as anoles and Phrynosomatinae. The Iguania were previously believed to form the sister group to the remainder of the Squamata based on morphological characteristics, but molecular information has placed Iguania well within the Squamata as sister taxa to the Anguimorpha and closely related to snakes. They are largely arboreal and have primitively fleshy, nonprehensile tongues, but this condition is obviously highly modified in the chameleons. The clade currently includes these families: ⁕Family Agamidae – agamid lizards, Old World arboreal lizards ⁕Family Chamaeleonidae – chameleons ⁕Family Iguanidae – American arboreal lizards, chuckwallas, iguanas ⁕Subfamily Corytophaninae – helmet lizards ⁕Subfamily Crotaphytinae – collared lizards, leopard lizards ⁕Subfamily Hoplocercinae – dwarf and spinytail iguanas ⁕Subfamily Iguaninae – marine, Fijian, Galapagos land, spinytail, rock, desert, green, and chuckwalla iguanas ⁕Subfamily Oplurinae – Malagasy iguanas ⁕Subfamily Phrynosomatinae – North American spiny lizards ⁕Subfamily Polychrotinae – anoles and kinsubclade of Polychrotinae Anolis: anolessubclade of Polychrotinae Leiosaurini: leiosaurssubclade of Leiosaurini Leiosaurae:subclade of Leiosaurini Anisolepae:subclade of Polychrotinae Polychrus
