Liolaeminae (but see text)

Liolaemidae are a family of iguanian lizards.[1] They were traditionally included in the family Iguanidae as subfamily Liolaeminae, which some more recent authors prefer to delimit in a more restricted way. A common name for this group is liolaemids. Liolaemidae are typically herbivores that have a diet high in fruit. Because of this special diet, Liolaemidae have a larger small intestine when compared to other similar omnivorous and insectivorous lizards.[2]

The genera placed here are:

  • Ctenoblepharys Tschudi, 1845cabezona (one species)
  • Liolaemus Wiegmann, 1834 – tree iguanas, snow swifts (over 280 species)
  • Phymaturus Gravenhorst, 1838 (52 species)
