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.
