The Tropiduridae are a family of iguanid lizards native to South America, including the islands of Trinidad and the Galápagos. Commonly known as Neotropical ground lizards, most are ground-dwelling animals, and the family includes some lizards adapted to relatively cold climates, including those of the Andes mountains and Tierra del Fuego. Several species give birth to live young.[1]
The genera are:
- Microlophus – lava lizards and Pacific iguanas (sometimes in Tropidurus)
- Plesiomicrolophus
- Plica
- Stenocercus – whorltail iguanas
- Tropidurus (including Platynotus, Strobilurus, Tapinurus)
- Uracentron – thornytail iguanas (sometimes in Tropidurus)
- Uranoscodon
