Chiniquodon
Chiniquodon is an extinct genus of carnivorous cynodonts, which lived during the Late Triassic (Carnian) in South America (Argentina and Brazil) and Africa (Namibia and Madagascar). Chiniquodon was closely related to the genus Aleodon, and close to the ancestry of mammals.

Other contemporaries included early dinosaurs. As both groups filled a similar ecological niche, fairly large therapsid hunters such as Chiniquodon may have been outcompeted by dinosaurs.

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.

The name for the genus Aleodon was created when Alfred W. "Fuzz" Crompton initially discovered the type species, Aleodon brachyrhamphus. The genus name, "Aleodon" referred to the grinding nature of the postcanine teeth, while "brachyrhamphus" referred to the relatively short snout of the specimen. The most recently discovered species, A. cromptoni was named after Crompton.
