Currently there are about 40 extant families of Lacertilia.These vary considerably, e.g. in shades, colours, and sizes. For example, the largest representative among Geckos, the New Caledonian giant gecko (Rhacodactylus leachianus), has a length of up to 36 cm (14 in), while the largest species in the family Varanidae, Komodo dragon (Varanus komodoensis), has a length up to 3 metres (10 ft ...

Size comparison of the holotype (top) with Rhacodactylus leachianus. Gigarcanum delcourti is 50% longer and was likely several times heavier than the largest living gecko, the also New Caledonian Rhacodactylus leachianus, [6] with a snout-to-vent length (SVL) of 37 cm (14.6 in) and an overall length (including tail) of at least 60 cm (23.6 in).

The species of the genus Strophurus attain total lengths (including tail) of 80 to 130 mm (3.1 to 5.1 in). The scales of the body are generally small and round, sometimes interspersed with enlarged scales and soft spines.
