  ADW: Agamidae: Information
With the notable exception of Madagascar, they are widespread throughout the paleotropics and Palaearctic, though their range does not extend far into Europe.
Most researchers agree that the only iguanian families that were not previously members of Iguanidae -- Agamidae and Chamaeleonidae -- form the monophyletic group Acrodonta, which is sister to the remaining families (equivalent to Iguanidae sensu lato).
Frost and Etheridge's (1989) analysis found Agamidae paraphyletic with respect to Chamaeleonidae, although in one topology this is based solely on the questionable identification of the fossil Priscagama as an agamid.

 Digimorph - Physignathus cocincinus (Chinese water dragon)
Physignathus is a member of Agamidae, a lineage of iguanian lizards that also includes the Australian thorny devil, Moloch horridus.
Agamidae is the Old World counterpart of the New World iguanids, such as the Mexican spinytail iguana (Ctenosaura pectinata) and the Texas horned lizard (Phrynosoma cornutum).
Relationships within Agamidae remain problematic, but an analysis of mitochondrial DNA (Macey et al., 2000) suggests that Physignathus cocincinus is the sister taxon to a clade containing all taxa from Australia and New Guinea.

Zonuridae and Anguidae assume a central position, with Agamidae and Iguanidae as two parallel families (not very different from each other) of highest development, one in the Old World, the other in America.
In their general structure the Iguanidae closely resemble the Agamidae, from which they differ mainly by the pleurodont dentition.
