The exact position of species within the genera Alces, Cervalces and Libralces is of debate. Many large, prehistoric moose-like cervids were originally placed in Alces, but have since been moved to Cervalces or Libralces by many (but not all) authorities. Both Cervalces and Libralces have also been used interchangeably with regards to certain species.
