Animals: squamates and amphibians

Squamates

Because the old Order Squa­ma­ta, lizards, turns out to be para­phylet­ic by omis­sion of Order Ser­pentes, snakes—some lizards are more close­ly relat­ed to snakes than they are to oth­er lizards—and there are no names at the ordi­nal lev­el pro­posed for the non-​snake lizard clades, orders are not used here.

Amphibians

Anura
