Comments | Notosuchidae was established by Dollo (1924) used by Romer (1956) to include Brasileosaurus, Libycosuchus, Notosuchus, Sphagesaurus, and Uruguaysuchus. Steel (1973) limited Notosuchidae to Araripesuchus, Brasileosaurus, Uruguaysuchus and Notosuchus. More recent cladistic work either has added or removed an increasingly diverse assemblage of taxa. Recently Carvalho et al. (2004) offered an incomplete phylogenetic definition restricting the taxon to Notosuchus, which is thus redundant with the genus. The active definition, in contrast, is stem-based and includes those taxa most closely related to Notosuchus terrestris, while excluding those that have not been included in recent cladistic work. |
