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.
