agamid

Bright male colors are exhibited primarily during sexual and aggressive displays in iguanids, agamids, chamaeleonids, gekkonids, lacertids, and teiids.

1992, William E. Dooper, Neil Greenberg, “Reptilian Coloration and Behavior”, in Carl Gans, David Crews, editors, Hormones, Brain, and Behavior, page 398:

Agamids and chamaeleonids are sister-groups, presumably with the chameleons diverging early from an agamid stock. Agamids and chameleons uniquely share an acrodont dentition on the dentary and posterior maxillary.

1993, George R. Zug, Herpetology: An Introductory Biology of Amphibians and Reptiles, page 439:

Whereas Chamaeleonidae and Iguanidae now appear to be monophyletic, Agamidae is not (Macey et al. 1997) because chameleons evolved from agamids, though they have traditionally been excluded (a problem easily resolved by recognizing a clade called Acrodonta, which includes both agamids and chameleons).

chamaeleonid

Chamaeleonids have carried the trend further; nearly all species have lost or greatly reduced vomeronasal and olfactory systems [Parsons, 1970; Gabe and Saint Girons, 1976] and rely, instead, on vision.

1993, S. Karger, Brain, Behavior and Evolution, volume 41, page 133:

Iguanids apparently were isolated in Africa by epicontinental seas and gave rise to chamaeleonids in the west and agamids in the east; the scincomorphs radiated in Laurussia, giving rise to the teiids in North America and lacertids in Europe.

2007, Thomas T. Veblen, Kenneth R. Young, Antony R. Orme, editors, The Physical Geography of South America, page 119:

Chamaeleonids’ ears have simplified over time, and they are not visible externally, being covered with skin and scales. Unlike other lizards, chamaeleonids possess neither an exterior aperture nor a tympanic membrane, but they share some skeletal and fluid structure similarities with snakes.

2009, François Le Berre, Richard D. Bartlett, The Chameleon Handbook, page 31:

เหี้ย

th-noun

เหี้ย • (hîia)

Unknown. Compare Lao ເຫັ້ຽ (hīa), Tai Dón hể, Tày khı́a, and Nùng [Western] tɕhi:^(C1).
As observed by Chamberlain (2022), Varanus salvator is a highly venerated creature in Siamese folk religion, so much so that the evocation of its name is regarded as taboo, hence the negative connotations. An earliest attestation of this can be found in a 1891 magazine from the reign of King Chulalongkorn, indicating that the term had been used negatively since at least the previous reign.

2023 March 2, “เจาะมายาคติการกิน “เหี้ย” ผ่านชุมชนที่ ผัด-แกง-ย่าง เนื้อตัวเงินตัวทอง ด้วยความเชื่อเป็นยา”, in bbc.com:

ascalabotan

Scientists have made our work a bit easier by dividing living lizards into two major groups: the ascalabotans and the autarchoglossans.

1987, Arthur Rosenfeld, Exotic Pets, page 84:

(zoology) A squamate of the clade Ascalabota


platynotid

Autotomy has such an obvious survival value that it is interesting to inquire why the ability to perform has been lost, reduced, or never gained in such groups as agamids, some iguanids, chameleons, a few geckos and skinks, and all platynotids.

1995, Ambika Prasad Diwan, Embryology of Reptiles, page 150:

Mosaursaurids^([sic]) are fossil marine lizards (DeBraga and Carroll, 1993) part of the varanoid (platynotid) clade within Anguimorpha (Lee, 1997).

2001, Hiran M. Dutta, Vertebrate Functional Morphology:

A member of the clade Platynota of anguimorph lizards.

* From حَرْبَة (ḥarba, “dart, javelin; weapon in a general sense”) from the root ح ر ب (ḥ-r-b); likely a reference to the projectile-like tongue of a chameleon. Cognate with Akkadian 𒁇𒁯𒁯𒉡 (/ḫurbabillu/, “chameleon”) and Eblaite 𒄯𒁀𒌝 (ḫur.ba.um, “chameleon”).
* Deriving from the root ح ر ب (ḥ-r-b) in the sense of "becoming enraged or to grow agitated", as the changing of color is used idiomatically to denote changes in states or moods in Semitic Languages.
* Alternatively, philologist Georg Freytag lists it as from a Persian خربا (xorbâ) (> خوربان (xwarbân, “sun-keeper”)), giving the meaning “guardian of the sun”; perhaps related to Persian آفتابپرست (âftâb-parast, “chameleon”, literally “sun-worshiper”).


sheltopusik

From Russian желтопузик (želtopuzik), literally "yellow-bellied".

Pseudopus apodus, a large glass lizard found from southern Europe to Central Asia.

Không phải cá sấu, mà cũng không phải là kỳ đà. Kỳ đà thì mõm nhọn chứ!
