Alligatorinae is a subfamily within the family Alligatoridae that contains the alligators and their closest extinct relatives, and is the sister taxon to Caimaninae (the caimans). Many genera in Alligatorinae are described, but only the genus Alligator is still living, with the remaining genera extinct.

Transcription
Evolution
Alligators and caimans split in North America during the early Tertiary or late Cretaceous (about 53 million to about 65 million years ago).[2][3] The Chinese alligator split from the American alligator about 33 million years ago[2] and likely descended from a lineage that crossed the Bering land bridge during the Neogene. The modern American alligator is well represented in the fossil record of the Pleistocene.[4] The alligator's full mitochondrial genome was sequenced in the 1990s.[5] The full genome, published in 2014, suggests that the alligator evolved much more slowly than mammals and birds.[6]
Phylogeny
Alligatorinae is cladistically defined as Alligator mississippiensis (the American alligator) and all species closer to it than to Caiman crocodylus (the spectacled caiman).[7][8] This is a stem-based definition for Alligatorinae, and means that it includes more basal extinct alligator ancestors that are more closely related to living alligators than to caimans.
The below cladogram shows the phylogeny of Alligatorinae.[9][8]
