The Tree of Life web site is your friend. :)

Go to here to see the part of the tree containing the Romerida.

Oh, by the way, you're right. I made a cock up with the Tuatara. I was getting Sphenacodon confused with Sphenodon, the former being a sodding big Permian-era pelycosaur, the latter a modern day reptile.

Arrgh!! So many misconceptions in my head....

I would have said that Reptilomorph was an Amniote, not the other way round. So, Reptilomorph is a sister clade to Amphibian, giving rise to, among others, Amniotes. yeesh! OK. Thanks.
