Remarks:
When describing
Shinisaurus crocodilurus, Ahl established for it the new family Shinisauridae. Subsequently, McDowell & Bogert (1954) placed it together with
Xenosaurus in the New World family
Xenosauridae, an arrangement which has been followed by many authors (e.g., Wermuth 1969; Goin, Goin & Zug 1978). Hu, Jiang & Zhao (1984) revalidated Shinisauridae, and Böhme's (1988) results supported this by demonstrating that the two genera are not related to each other.
Distribution:
As for the single genus of the family, Shinisaurus.
