Melanosuchus genus of caiman . The black caiman of South America is the sole extant (living) species, and is the largest living member of the subfamily Caimaninae , as well as the entire alligator family Alligatoridae .
Taxonomy [ edit ]
Extant species [ edit ]
There is one extant species:
Fossil species [ edit ]
Fossil species are known from the Late Miocene of South America and include:
Phylogeny [ edit ]
Melanosuchus is a member of the subfamily Caimaninae , which contains the two other extant genera Caiman Paleosuchus cladogram shows the relationships of all extant genera within Crocodilia (excluding separate extinct taxa), based on molecular phylogenetic studies.[3] [4] [5] [6]
