WHAT DOES DIAPSID MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Diapsid

Diapsids are a group of tetrapods that developed two holes in each side of their skulls about 300 million years ago during the late Carboniferous period. Living diapsids are extremely diverse, and include all crocodiles, lizards, snakes, tuataras, and birds. Although some diapsids have lost either one hole, or both holes, or have a heavily restructured skull, they are still classified as diapsids based on their ancestry. At least 7,925 species of diapsid reptiles exist in environments around the world today.
