I intended to use Sauria (Greek for "lizards") for the stem group that
includes Lacertilia (Latin for "lizards") and all animals more closely
related to Lacertilia (modern, i.e., crown-group, lizards) than to snakes
(Serpentes: Latin for snakes). Ophidia (Greek for "snakes") would be the
complementary stem group comprising Serpentes and all animals more closely
related to modern snakes than to modern lizards.
