Diploglossa is a clade of neoanguimorphs represented by the families Xenosauridae, Diploglossidae, Anniellidae and Anguidae, the latter three placed in the superfamily Anguioidea.[1][2][3][4] In the past the Chinese crocodile lizard was classified as a xenosaurid;[5] current molecular work has shown evidence the species related to varanoids in the clade Paleoanguimorpha.[1][2][6]

Below is the phylogeny of the neoanguimorph lineages after Pyron et al. (2013):[2]

Diploglossa

Xenosauridae (knob-scaled lizards)

Anguioidea

Diploglossidae (galliwasps)

Anniellidae (American legless lizards)

Anguidae (glass lizards and alligator lizards)
