Phylogenetic relationships within the lizard clade Xantusiidae: Using trees and divergence times to address evolutionary questions at multiple levels

•Cricosaura diverged from (Lepidophyma+Xantusia) ∼81Ma.•Multiple Xantusiid origins of rock-crevice dwelling (and associated morphologies) recovered.•Unisexuality has clearly evolved at least twice within Lepidophyma.•The presence of cryptic diversity is revealed in both Xantusia and Lepidophyma.
