Paleosuchus (from Ancient Greek παλαιός (palaiós), meaning "old", and Σοῦχος (Soûkhos), meaning "Sobek") is a South American genus of reptiles in the subfamily Caimaninae of the family Alligatoridae. They are the smallest members of the order Crocodilia in the Americas.
==Classification== The genus name Paleosuchus is derived from the Greek palaios meaning "ancient" and soukhos meaning "crocodile god Sobek". This refers to the belief that this crocodile comes from an ancient lineage that diverged from other species of caimans some 30 million years ago.
