Crocodylinae is a subfamily of true crocodiles within the family Crocodylidae , and is the sister taxon to Osteolaeminae (dwarf crocodiles and slender-snouted crocodiles ).
Taxonomy
[ edit ]
Crocodylinae was cladistically defined by Christopher Brochu in 1999 as Crocodylus niloticus (the Nile crocodile ) and all crocodylians more closely related to it than to Osteolaemus tetraspis (the Dwarf crocodile ).[1] [2] stem-based definition, and is the sister taxon to Osteolaeminae .
Crocodylinae contains the extant genus Crocodylus Mecistops [2] [3] extinct genus Voay .[4]
Phylogeny
[ edit ]
Some morphological studies have recovered Mecistops basal member of Crocodylinae, more closely related to Crocodylus Osteolaemus Osteolaeminae ,[2] [3] cladogram below.[3]
The below cladogram is based on a 2021 study using paleogenomics that extracted DNA from the extinct Voay [4]
