ADW: Hoplocercidae: Information |
 | | In addition, they have enlarged lacrimal foramina; extensive skull rugosity; an anterior surangular foramen that is ventral to the posterior extremity of the dentary; a coronoid labial blade; and polycuspate marginal teeth. |
| | Each of these characters may be synapomorphies of Hoplocercidae, depending on who their closest relatives are. |
| | Until recently, almost 1,000 species, including those in Hoplocercidae, were placed in Iguanidae (sensu lato), but Frost and Etheridge's (1989) analysis of iguanian systematics suggested eight monophyletic clades within that large family. |
