... ( Polyglyphanodon ) bajaensis , we have included Dicothodon in the phylogenetic analysis in order to more completely understand the hypothetical relationships of the North American fossil taxa. Gekkonidae was chosen as the designated outgroup as it lies outside of the Scincomorpha and could be scored for all...

... a probable Amphisbaenia–Macrocephalosauridae relationship within the Scincomorpha. This is supported primarily by the unique modifications of the palate and temporal region of the skull. It is argued here that the Amphisbaenia evolved in Central Asia during the Cretaceous, in response to the transition from...

...M. Waldman Abstract The right mandibular ramus of a lizard from the Oldman Formation (Late Campanian: Upper Cretaceous) of Alberta is described. The specimen is ascribed to the suborder Scincomorpha, family Teiidae, and is placed in the genus Chamops , being closely allied to Chamops segnis from...

In the strict consensus tree Paramacellodus and Becklesius lay on the stem of Anguimorpha, with Parasaurillus (Conrad's Pseudosaurillus sp.) at the base of a clade equivalent to the traditional Autarchoglossa (effectively Scincomorpha...

.... The phylogenetic position of Slavoia within Scincomorpha is disputed. Sulimski (1984) stated that Slavoia might be related to Gymnophthalmidae. But Borsuk-Bialynicka (1988) argued that Slavoia and Globaura (also from the Late Cretaceous of Mongolia) are primitive, indeterminate members...
