DiagnosisDiagnosis: Savage & Lips (1993) and Savage et al. (2008) distinguish Diploglossus and Celestus on the basis of the presence (Diploglossus) or absence (Celestus) of claw sheaths, respectively.

Diagnosis (genus Diploglossus s. str.). Species of Diploglossus have (1) claw sheath, present or absent, (2) contact between the nasal and rostral scales, present or absent, (3) scales in contact with the nasal scale, 5–6, (4) postnasal scales, 1–2, (5) position of the nostril in the nasal scale, posterior, (6) keels on dorsal body scales, present or absent, (7) digits per limb, five, (8) longest toe lamellae, 8–18, (9) dorsal scale rows, 88–99, (10) relative head width, 9.20–19.0, (11) relative rostral height, 49.6–62.1, (12) relative frontonasal length, 2.11–4.44, (13) relative interparietal distance, 0–0.658, (14) relative axilla-groin distance, 52.8–76.6.
From Ophiodes, we distinguish Diploglossus by the digits per limb (five versus none, because of lack of limbs in Ophiodes), number of lamella on longest toe (8–18 versus none, because of lack of limbs in Ophiodes), and the number of dorsal scales (88–99 versus 130–171) (Schools & Hedges 2021). 
CommentType Species: Tiliqua fasciatus is the type species of the genus Diploglossus WIEGMANN 1834. Content fide Schools & Hedges 2021 (i.e. Diploglossus s. str.): Ten species (Table 3): Diploglossus delasagra, D. fasciatus, D. garridoi, D. lessonae, D. microlepis, D. millepunctatus, D. monotropis, D. montisserrati, D. nigropunctuatus, and D. pleii.

Higher taxa: Diploglossus is here assigned to Diploglossidae based on the paraphyly with Anguidae in Zheng & Wiens 2016. Many other recent authors included the genus in Anguidae: Diploglossinae.

Synonymy: partly after BRYGOO 1987.
