I gather that you mean that the genera that traditionally have made up the 
Iguanodontidae are paraphyletic or polyphyletic.  Thus, since Iguanodontidae 
includes only the genus _Iguanodon_, the clade Iguanodontidae is redundant.

The family name Iguanodontidae is valid, since the genus _Iguanodon_ is 
valid since the designation of a neotype.
