Steve,
A couple of points about your phylogenetic dendrogram.
1.) Sauria doesn't exist anymore
2.) Dibamidae (Dibamus and Anelytropis) are usually regarded as basal
squamates. Although M. Lee from Australia recently included them along with the
Amphisbaenia in the Nyctisaura
3.) Geckonidae should actually be spelled Gekkonidae
4.) You forgot Aleuroscalabotes
5.) Eublepharinae is usually recognized as a valid family (Eublepharidae)
6.) Pygopodidae includes Diplodactylinae
A simplified version of the phylogenetic dendrogram looks like this;
Squamata
Iguania
Gekkota
Eublepharidae
Aeluroscalabotes
Eubelpharis
Goniurosaurus
Coleonyx
Holodactylus
Hemitheconyx
Pygopodidae
Diplodactylinae
Pygopodinae
Gekkonidae
