Gekkota is an infraorder of squamate reptiles in the suborder Scleroglossa, comprising all geckos and the limbless "snake-lizards" of family Pygopodidae. The legless lizards of the family Dibamidae, also referred to as blind lizards,[1] have occasionally been counted as gekkotans, but recent molecular phylogenies suggest otherwise.[2][3]
Taxonomy
Gekkota is composed of seven families:[4][5][6][7][8]
