Contents:
10 species, of which 5 (50.0%) are endemic.

Remarks:
Böhme (1982) and Moody (1980) separated the genera
Uromastyx and
Leiolepis from the family
Agamidae and revalidated the family name Uromastycidae for that purpose.
Borsuk-Bialynicka & Moody (1984) reduced this group to subfamily status within the
Agamidae.
However, some authors assign Leiolepis to a separate family, Leiolepidae
(e.g., Das 2010).
