JZC_Bu267 shared synapomorphies with squamates Small morphological data set (0): 26-. Frontals, lateral orbital margin deeply concave Parietal table and jaw adductor muscles, parietal table very wide, jaw adductors restricted entirely to ventral surface of parietal. 2-. Interpterygoid vacuity, open and wide.

Anterolateral process of coronoid, present, overlapping lateral surface of dentary Posterior mylohyoid foramen (on medial surface of angular), present Vomerine teeth, absent Palatine teeth, absent Pterygoid teeth, absent. Large morphological data set (,2): 4-3. Maxilla facial process length/maxilla length, 38-55% Maxilla suborbital ramus extends posteriorly, to roughly midorbit (or anterior) Palatine choanal fossa development, extending about half way back on palatine Pterygoid separation on midline, broad at base, narrow anteriorly Dentary posterior termination on lateral face of mandible, below (or anterior to) level of coronoid apex Coronoid, posteromedial process, present. JCZ_Bu802 shared synapomorphies with gekkotans Small morphological data set (0) Frontals, single median element Posterior margin of orbit, very incomplete, less than 50% of posterior orbital margin bordered by bone Upper temporal arch, incomplete, upper and lower temporal fenestra confluent Vidian canal, posterior opening located at basisphenoid-prootic suture Meckel's canal, enclosed tube within dentary, upper and lower borders completely fused together Scleral ossicles, square in shape. Large morphological data set (,2): Frontal subolfactory process depth: 58 68% Postfrontal broad and flat, often very broad, always anteroposteriorly extensive and flat Parietal fusion, paired, not fused Parietal temporal muscles originate ventrally on parietal table and supratemporal process Prefrontal-maxilla articulation, prefrontal broadly contacts maxilla supradental shelf lateral to palatine Lacrimal, absent. 4-. Lacrimal duct position, enclosed in prefrontal Jugal lateral exposure below orbit, partly exposed above orbital margin of maxilla Jugal postorbital ramus development, postorbital bar absent Jugal cross-section at level of ectopterygoid, depressed. 6-.

Tympanic crest (outer conch), tympanic crest a low ridge Epipterygoid, absent (absence inferred from the lack of fossa columellae).
