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.
