List of reptile genera

List of reptile genera lists the vertebrate class of reptiles by living genus, spanning two subclasses.

Subclass Anapsida[edit]

Order Testudinata (turtles)[edit]

Turtles are reptiles of the order Testudines characterized by a special bony or cartilaginous shell developed from their ribs and acting as a shield.[1]

Suborder Pleurodira[2][edit]

Suborder Cryptodira[6][edit]

Subclass Diapsida[edit]

Superorder Lepidosauria[edit]

The Lepidosauria (from Greek meaning scaled lizards) are reptiles with overlapping scales. This subclass includes Squamata and Rhynchocephalia. It is a monophyletic group and therefore contains all descendants of a common ancestor.[13]

Order Rhynchocephalia[edit]

Rhynchocephalia is an order of lizard-like reptiles that includes only one living species of tuatara, which in turn has two subspecies (Sphenodon punctatus punctatus and Sphenodon punctatus guntheri), which only inhabit parts of New Zealand.[14]

Order Squamata[edit]

Squamata is the largest order of reptiles, comprising lizards, snakes and amphisbaenians (worm lizards), which are collectively known as squamates or scaled reptiles. With over 10,000 species,[15]

Approximate world distribution of snakes.
Approximate world distribution of snakes.

Division Archosauria[edit]

Archosaurs are a group of diapsid amniotes whose living representatives consist of birds and crocodilians. This group also includes all extinct dinosaurs, extinct crocodilian relatives, and pterosaurs.[74][75][76]

Order Crocodilia[edit]

Crocodilia (or Crocodylia) is an order of mostly large, predatory, semiaquatic archosaurian reptiles, known as crocodilians.[77]

Order Saurischia[edit]

Cladistically birds are considered reptiles, but according to traditional taxonomy they are listed separately. Saurischia includes extinct relatives of birds, the "lizard hipped" dinosaurs.[81][82] See List of bird genera.
