Archosauromorpha
Archosauromorpha (Greek for "ruling lizard forms") is a clade of diapsid reptiles containing all reptiles more closely related to archosaurs (such as crocodilians and dinosaurs, including birds) rather than lepidosaurs (such as tuataras, lizards, and snakes).
See Eolacertilia and Archosauromorpha
Clade
In biological phylogenetics, a clade, also known as a monophyletic group or natural group, is a grouping of organisms that are monophyletic – that is, composed of a common ancestor and all its lineal descendants – on a phylogenetic tree.
Cteniogenys
Cteniogenys is a genus of choristodere, a morphologically diverse group of aquatic reptiles.
See Eolacertilia and Cteniogenys
Diapsid
Diapsids ("two arches") are a clade of sauropsids, distinguished from more primitive eureptiles by the presence of two holes, known as temporal fenestrae, in each side of their skulls.
Early Triassic
The Early Triassic is the first of three epochs of the Triassic Period of the geologic timescale.
See Eolacertilia and Early Triassic
Extinction
Extinction is the termination of a taxon by the death of its last member.
See Eolacertilia and Extinction
Kuehneosauridae
Kuehneosauridae is an extinct family of small, lizard-like gliding diapsids known from the Triassic period of Europe and North America.
See Eolacertilia and Kuehneosauridae
Late Triassic
The Late Triassic is the third and final epoch of the Triassic Period in the geologic time scale, spanning the time between Ma and Ma (million years ago).
See Eolacertilia and Late Triassic
Lepidosauromorpha
Lepidosauromorpha (in PhyloCode known as Pan-Lepidosauria) is a group of reptiles comprising all diapsids closer to lizards than to archosaurs (which include crocodiles and birds).

Lopingian
The Lopingian is the uppermost series/last epoch of the Permian.

Palaeagama
Palaeagama is an extinct genus of neodiapsid reptile from the Late Permian or Early Triassic of South Africa.

Paliguana
Paliguana is an extinct genus of lizard-like lepidosauromorph reptile.

Saurosternon
Saurosternon is an extinct genus of neodiapsid reptile from the Late Permian of South Africa.

Tanystropheus
Tanystropheus (~ 'long' + 'hinged') is an extinct genus of archosauromorph reptile which lived during the Triassic Period in Europe, Asia, and North America.
