Project: squamate subtaxonomy

This solution creates new infraorders under suborder Sauria:

Infraorders (under Sauria):

https://www.inaturalist.org/taxa/1563904-Scincomorpha
https://www.inaturalist.org/taxa/1563906-Anguimorpha
https://www.inaturalist.org/taxa/1563907-Iguania
https://www.inaturalist.org/taxa/1567777-Lacertoidea
https://www.inaturalist.org/taxa/1567781-Dibamia

Parvorders under Iguania:
https://www.inaturalist.org/taxa/1567779-Pleurodonta
https://www.inaturalist.org/taxa/1567778-Acrodonta

Parvorder under Lacertoidea:
https://www.inaturalist.org/taxa/1567780-Amphisbaenia

An alternative solution would be to have all the infraorders as Suborders and get rid of Sauria entirely. This is the solution I would personally favour, but the consensus among reptile curators is that Sauria is useful, even if paraphyletic.
