Taxonomy of the family Tropiduridae Bibliography of the genus Strobilurus Biodiversity of the family Tropiduridae Genus Strobilurus Collared Spiny-tailed Iguana Halsband-Dornschwanzleguan Halsbånd-tornhaleleguan 1834 Strobilurus Wiegmann (type species: Strobilurus torquatus Wiegmann 1834) Contents: 1 species, which is endemic. Endemism: 0% 100% Remarks: Frost (1992) regarded Strobilurus as a synonym of Tropidurus, but he later reversed the arrangement (Frost, Rodrigues, Grant & Titus 2001). If Strobilurus were treated as a synonym of Tropidurus, Strobilurus torquatus would be referred to as Tropidurus strobilurus Frost 1992, because the name torquatus is preoccupied by Stellio torquatus [=Tropidurus torquatus] Wied 1820. Distribution: As for the single species.
