Oardasaurus of Transylvania, they likely originated earlier, based on the presence of "Meyasaurus" in the Early Cretaceous of Spain. It is probable that they originated from ancestral teiioids in Gondwana, which reached the Transylvanian region - then part of an isolated landmass measuring about in area and separated from other land by of ocean in all directions - through venturing across the Mediterranean Sea from either Africa or "mainland" Europe in the Early Cretaceous. Once they reached the isolated ecosystem of this landmass, known as Hațeg Island, they underwent an adaptive radiation. No records of barbatteiid-like lizards are known in the
Africa has increased dramatically in the last decade. Africa is the largest of the three great southward projections from the largest landmass of the Earth. Separated from Europe by the Mediterranean Sea, it is joined to Asia at its northeast extremity by the Isthmus of Suez (transected by the Suez Canal), wide. (Geopolitically, Egypt's Sinai Peninsula east of the Suez Canal is often considered part of Africa, as well.) The coastline is long, and the absence of deep indentations of the shore is illustrated by the fact that Europe, which covers only – about a third of the surface of Africa
