 Subset of Iguaninae

Note: Characters have been recoded to eliminate variation within basic taxa as well as 

 derived states that characterize single basic taxa (not including Brachylophus and 

 Dipsosaurus). Consistency indices (CI) for the characters are also given; these are identical 

 for the three minimum-step cladograms based on the characters in this table (Fig. 49A,B,C) 

 and their consensus cladogram (Fig. 50).
