Rhynchocephalia is an order of lizard-like reptiles that includes only one living genus and species, the tuatara.

Many of the niches occupied by lizards today were then held by sphenodontians. There was even a successful group of aquatic sphenodontians known as pleurosaurs. They are thought to only inhabit parts of New Zealand.
