Loxodonta adaurora (extinct) Loxodonta africana Loxodonta cyclotis
African elephants are the two species of elephants in the genus Loxodonta, one of the two existing genera in Elephantidae. Although it is commonly believed that the genus was named by Georges Cuvier in 1825, Cuvier spelled it Loxodonte. An anonymous author romanized the spelling to Loxodonta and the ICZN recognizes this as the proper authority.
Bush and Forest Elephants were formerly considered subspecies under the name Loxodonta africana.
