What is another word for Genus Macroclemys?
Pronunciation: [d͡ʒˈɛnəs mˈakɹəkləmɪz] (IPA) 
The Genus Macroclemys is a taxonomic classification that refers to a group of large alligator snapping turtles. Synonyms for Genus Macroclemys include Macrochelys, Platurus, and Cinosternon. These names have historical roots and have been used interchangeably in different taxonomic revisions. Macrochelys was more recently proposed as a replacement for Genus Macroclemys, as it reflects the genetic and morphological differences between alligator and other snapping turtles. Platurus and Cinosternon were also used for different groups of snapping turtles that are now recognized as distinct species within the Macrochelys genus. Regardless of the name used, all turtles in this group are known for their powerful, sometimes lethal bites and their unique ability to lure prey with their worm-like tongues.
