Old world chameleons (Family: Chamaeleonidae) are a collection of visually distinctive taxa exemplified by a number of general morphological characteristics.
Chamaeleonidae taxonomy has been based on external morphology, hemipenis morphology, mtDNA, tRNA and ND4 genetic data and mitochondrial and nuclear DNA sequence data among other methods.

-- A phylogenetic tree for acrodont lizards (Chamaeleonidae and Agamidae) is established based on 1434 bases (1041 informative) of aligned DNA positions from a 1685-1778 base-pair region of the mitochondrial genome.
The Chamaeleonidae forms another clade weakly supported as the sister taxon to the Agamidae.
The Australia/New Guinea clade rafted with the Australia-New Guinea plate and forms the sister group to a southeast-Asian taxon that occurs on plates that broke from northern Australia-New Guinea.

Meghann Strain Mentor: Dr. James Schulte February 28th, 2006 The superfamily Iguania is comprised of New World lizards.
It has been proposed that due to the many variations within Iguanidae, it would be better divided into individual families, and the previous families Agamidae and Chamaeleonidae combined.
The number of subdivisions has been debated among researchers, however, leaving many opportunities for taxonomic research to be conducted.
