  abstract = {{T}he {N}eogene period witnessed the radiation of modern crocodylian genera, as evidenced from their fossil record in intertropical zones. {D}espite its recognition as a modern biodiversity hotspot, {S}outh {E}ast {A}sia remains undersampled for that age bin. {H}ere, we describe a new crocodylian from northern {T}hailand, {A}ntecrocodylus chiangmuanensis n. gen. n. sp. from the {M}iddle {M}iocene lignite seams of {C}hiang {M}uan and refer to it other specimens from the nearby lignite seams of {M}ae {M}oh. {T}he holotype specimen preserves the posterior half of the skull and mandible. {A}natomical observations are aided by medical computed tomography. {A} phylogenetic analysis places the new taxon in a basal position relative to {C}rocodylidae. {T}his discovery highlights the underrated fossil record of {N}eogene crocodyloids in {A}sia compared to {A}frica or {A}ustralia and allows us to reconsider palaeobiogeographic relationships between supposed endemic clades.},
