Pygopodoideais ageckosuperfamily and the only taxon in thegekkotansubcladePygopodomorpha.The clade includes threeAustralasianfamilies:Diplodactylidae(stone geckos),Carphodactylidae(knob-tailed geckos), andPygopodidae(flap-footed geckos). Traditional gekkotan systematics had considered Diplodactylidae and Carphodactylidae as subfamilies of the familyGekkonidae,but recent molecular work have placed Pygopodidae within Gekkonidae making it paraphyletic.[1]These analyses have shown support of Pygopodidae and Carphodactylidae being sister taxa, with Diplodactylidae occupying a basal position in Pygopodoidea.[2][3][4]
