Subclass Diapsida
Superorder Lepidosauria
The Lepidosauria (from Greek meaning scaled lizards) are reptiles with overlapping scales. This subclass includes Squamata and Rhynchocephalia. It is a monophyletic group and therefore contains all descendants of a common ancestor.[13]
Order Rhynchocephalia
Rhynchocephalia is an order of lizard-like reptiles that includes only one living species of tuatara, which in turn has two subspecies (Sphenodon punctatus punctatus and Sphenodon punctatus guntheri), which only inhabit parts of New Zealand.[14]
- Family Sphenodontidae
- Genus Sphenodon - tuatara
Order Squamata
Squamata is the largest order of reptiles, comprising lizards, snakes and amphisbaenians (worm lizards), which are collectively known as squamates or scaled reptiles. With over 10,000 species,[15]

Division Archosauria
Archosaurs are a group of diapsid amniotes whose living representatives consist of birds and crocodilians. This group also includes all extinct dinosaurs, extinct crocodilian relatives, and pterosaurs.[74][75][76]
Order Crocodilia
Crocodilia (or Crocodylia) is an order of mostly large, predatory, semiaquatic archosaurian reptiles, known as crocodilians.[77]
- Family Gavialidae[78]
- Family Alligatoridae[79]
- Genus Alligator
- Genus Caiman
- Genus Melanosuchus - black caiman
- Genus Paleosuchus
- Family Crocodylidae [80]
- Genus Crocodylus
- Genus Mecistops
- Genus Osteolaemus - dwarf crocodile
Order Saurischia
Cladistically birds are considered reptiles, but according to traditional taxonomy they are listed separately. Saurischia includes extinct relatives of birds, the "lizard hipped" dinosaurs.[81][82] See List of bird genera.
