 | | Herpetofauna Mexico 5:53-54, discussed the nomenclature of the group name, including justification for using Crocodylia (Gmelin 1789) rather than Crocodilia (Owen 1842) as the ordinal name. |
 | | They also reviewed evidence for recognizing two families, Crocodylidae and Gavialidae with three subfamilies in the former, Alligatorinae, Crocodylinae, and Tomistominae, rather than the more traditional three families, Alligatoridae, Crocodylidae, and Gavialidae; see also Sill 1968, Copeia (1):76-88. |
 | | This checklist follows a middle ground in recognizing three families, but breaks the Crocodylidae into the Crocodylinae and Tomistominae. |
