Genera

Diploglossidae is a family of anguimorph lizards native to the Americas. Members of the genera Celestus and Diploglossus are known as galliwasps. They were formerly considered a subfamily of Anguidae, but genetic evidence has shown them to be less closely related to other members of Anguidae than Anniellidae is.[1]

The family contains the following living species, and one extinct species:[2]
