Bayesian and parsimony hypotheses showed little disagreement. The combined analysis, but not any of the partitioned ones, showed strong support for the monophyly of Corytophanidae and the three contained genera, Basiliscus, Corytophanes, and Laemanctus. Basiliscus is the sister taxon of a well-supported clade formed by Corytophanes and Laemanctus. The relationships of species within the genera Basiliscus and Corytophanes received weak support, regardless of the method used. We defend those relationships as feasible and open to further testing. Data derived from the ultrastructure of spermatozoa are potentially a good source of characters for systematic inferences of Iguania and its major lineages. The BPA results suggest a Central American origin of Corytophanidae and that some events allied to Central America formation were responsible for differentiation of the groups of Corytophanidae.} }
