The oldest lineage of extant reptiles.        

This clade is the sister taxon to reptiles.    

Adults are terrestrial and nocturnal, while the young are diurnal.

The least diverse or speciose reptile group (i.e., the group with the fewest number of species).       

This taxon includes “lizards” and snakes.        

Includes squamates and its sister taxon (i.e., Squamata + it’s sister taxon = ?)
