たんきゅう‐るい【単弓類】
(synapsids)
1) 脊椎動物のグループ。すべての哺乳類とその祖先を含むもので、爬虫類と同格とされる。
2) 哺乳類型爬虫類の旧称。爬虫類を三つに分けた一つで、哺乳類の祖先にあたる。
  Comments:
-sense 2 is 'mammal-like reptile' which is ~not~ synonymous with 'synapsid'.  all mammals are synapsids but not all synapsids are mammals, and those that are not are called 'mammal-like reptiles' (a term that is no longer favoured because 'reptile' is now usually defined so as not to include the ancestors of mammals)
-we have _mostly_ consistently used plurals for taxonomic terms ending in -類

removed the explanation, it seemed a bit confused to me.
should it be plural or not?
