@Eucalyptus tegu: I cannot find any use of the word Cordylomorpha in the sources. Can you please provide a source that uses this exact term? EvergreenFir (talk) 19:29, 1 May 2026 (UTC)Reply

@Plantdrew: maybe you can help? EvergreenFir (talk) 15:07, 4 May 2026 (UTC)Reply

@EvergreenFir:, Cordylomorpha is mentioned in the Vidal & Hedges reference: "The scinciformatan families Cordylidae and Gerrhosauridae have always been found to be close relatives and are placed here in the existing superfamily Cordyloidea, and together with Xantusioidea (Xantusiidae) in the new unranked taxon Cordylomorpha." It is also shown in their Figure 2.

Recognizing this clade is inconsistent with the subgroups listed in the Scincomorpha article and the first cladogram there, although it is consistent with the relationships shown in the second cladogram in Scincomorpha. Plantdrew (talk) 15:42, 4 May 2026 (UTC)Reply
