Lepidosauromorpha is a group of reptiles comprising all diapsids closer to lizards than to archosaurs (including crocodiles and birds).
Lepidosauromorpha is een groep reptielen die alle reptielen bevat die nauwer verwant zijn aan de hagedissen dan aan de dinosaurussen.

  Sauria   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
The ancestral saurian was probably a small lizard-like creature, and the group would remain unimportant until the Triassic, when saurians became the dominant animals on land.
The clade is defined by a number of details in skull and skeleton, and include the two important clades Lepidosauromorpha and Archosauromorpha.
The term "Sauria" has previously been used in a generic sense to refer to a suborder of Squamata, including the lizards ( Lacertilia) as opposed to the snakes ( Ophidia), but this classification is no longer used, as Sauria so-defined is a paraphyletic group.

 Brief history of the Dinosaurs   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
The earliest known diapsid was Petrolacosaurus, and it was a moderately small animal, 60-70cm from snout to tail tip, with a long neck, large eyes, and long limbs, giving the impression of an agile terrestrial animal that probably fed on large insects and other arthropods.
The derived diapsids can be split into two groups, the Archosauromorpha and the Lepidosauromorpha.
The Lepidosauromorpha includes the tuatara and squamata and their extinct relatives.

 PhyloCode Article 13   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
(1988) defined the name Lepidosauromorpha as referring to the clade composed of Lepidosauria and all organisms sharing a more recent common ancestor with Lepidosauria than with Archosauria (a stem-based definition).
Laurin (1991) defined the name Lepidosauromorpha as referring to the clade stemming from the most recent common ancestor of Palaeagama, Saurosternon, Paliguana, Kuehneosaurus, and Lepidosauria (a node-based definition).
If two or more definitions have been established for identically spelled names, the only acceptable name (i.e., the combination of name and definition; see Note 12.1.1) is the first one established under this code.
