Diploglossidae is a family of anguimorph lizards native to the Americas, with most genera being endemic to Hispaniola. Most members of this family are known as galliwasps. They were formerly considered a subfamily of Anguidae, but genetic evidence has shown them to be less closely related to other members of Anguidae than Anniellidae is.
The isthmian alligator lizard is a species of lizard of the Anguidae family. G. rhombifer is found in both Costa Rica and Panama. Unlike many lizards near its habitat, individuals have lateral folds. They give birth to live young. Gerrhonotus rhombifer had not been seen for fifty years, prior to being rediscovered in 2000 near Golfito, and is one of the rarest species of lizard in Costa Rica.
The dotted galliwasp or Malpelo galliwasp is a carnivorous species of lizard endemic to Malpelo Island, Colombia.
Panolopus curtissi, also known commonly as Curtiss' galliwasp, Curtis's galliwasp, and the Hispaniolan khaki galliwasp, is a species of lizard in the family Diploglossidae endemic to the island of Hispaniola and surrounding islets.

Diploglossus microlepis, the small-lipped galliwasp, is a species of lizard of the Diploglossidae family. Almost nothing is known about this species, as the holotype, captured in 1831, has no geographic note.
Advenus montisilvestris, also known commonly as the mountain forest galliwasp, is a species of lizard in the family Diploglossidae. The species is endemic to Panama. It is the only member of the genus Advenus, and it as the only species of the subfamily Celestinae that is found outside of the Caribbean.

Diploglossus pleii, the Puerto Rican galliwasp, is a species of lizard of the Diploglossidae family endemic to Puerto Rico.
Siderolamprus is a genus of lizards in the family Diploglossidae. Member species are found throughout much of Central America. They are considered the only members of the subfamily Siderolamprinae, although Diploglossus bilobatus is sometimes reclassified into the monotypic genus Mesoamericus and placed with them.
