different between agamid vs agama

English

Noun

agamid (plural agamids)

1. (zoology) Any of the family Agamidae of lizards, including many dragons.
   • 1992, William E. Dooper, Neil Greenberg, Reptilian Coloration and Behavior, Carl Gans, David Crews (editors), Hormones, Brain, and Behavior, page 398,

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

   • 2006, Eric R. Pianka, Laurie J. Vitt, Lizards: Windows to the Evolution of Diversity, page 144,

     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).
