Until recently, almost 1,000 species, including those in Tropiduridae, were placed in Iguanidae (sensu lato), but Frost and Etheridge's (1989) analysis of iguanian systematics suggested eight monophyletic clades within that large family.
Among the eight families of Iguanidae sensu lato, which includes Tropiduridae, relationships are not resolved, although several hypotheses posit that tropidurids are closely related to phrynosomatids, oplurids, and perhaps polychrotids.
Within Tropiduridae, the subfamilies Tropidurinae and Leiocephalinae are sister taxa, and Liolaeminae is basal.

The Liolaeminae (Iguania: Tropiduridae) is a large clade of small to moderate-sized lizards that live in primarily arid and semiarid habitats throughout most of austral South America.
They are a conspicuous component of the terrestrial vertebrate fauna wherever they occur, and many localities are occupied by several species.
In 1989, Frost and Etheridge proposed formal recognition of Liolaeminae as a subfamily of the iguanian family Tropiduridae.

South American swifts, iguanid members of of the Tropiduridae, can be found throughout the southern part of South America, with populations stretching upwards along the two coasts.
There are 40-50 species in this genus, with different species found in numerous types of habitats, but mostly ranging from heavy forests to dry, rocky areas; some may be found in deserts, while others inhabit the cooler, moister montane forests.

Labra and R. Leonard [1999, J. Herpetology 33(3):441-448] note that although humans are commonly used as surrogate predators to assess the antipredator behavior of lizards, little is known about the effects that life associated with humans may have on the escape behavior of lizards.
This study examines the effects that coexistence with humans may have on the antipredator mechanisms in three species of Liolaemus (Tropiduridae).
For each species the authors compared two populations exposed to different human densities, to test the null hypothesis that there is no interpopulational variation in the response to an approaching human in the field.
