Comments | Saltoposuchidae is defined as a node-based taxon containing Saltoposuchus connectens but not Sphenosuchus acutus or Crocodylus niloticus. Should there exist a subgroup of sphenosuchians more advanced than Sphenosuchus acutus, as some analyses have indicated, then this taxon would be available. Crocodylus niloticus is included as an external specifier to maintain content, should Saltoposuchus connectens somehow prove to be more closely related to extant crocodilians than to Sphenosuchus acutus. |
