Aleodon

Aleodon is an extinct genus of cynodonts that lived from the Middle to Late Triassic. Relatively few analyses have been conducted to identify the phylogenetic placement of Aleodon, although some have placed it as a sister taxon to Chiniquodon. Two species of Aleodon are recognized: A. brachyrhamphus which was discovered in Tanzania, and A. cromptoni which was discovered most recently in Brazil.
