The Daphoeninae are an extinct subfamily of dog-like, terrestrial carnivores, which belonged to the family Amphicyonidae of the suborder Caniformia. The group inhabited North America from the Middle Eocene subepoch to the Middle Miocene subepoch 42—15.97 million years ago (Mya), existing for about 26.03 million years. [1]

Daphoenodon is an extinct genus of terrestrial carnivore, which lived in the early Miocene and belonged to the family Amphicyonidae ("bear dogs") of the suborder Caniformia. [1] .

The dominant larger Oligocene carnivores (creodonts, nim- ravid cats, the amphicyonid Daphoenus) became extinct during the late Oligocene and were replaced in the early Miocene by amphicyonine amphicyonids and hemicyonine ursids that entered North America from Eurasia.

The family Daphoenidae, while remaining conservative in limb structure and dentition, evolved more rapidly in size, culminating in the gigantic bear dogs of the Arikarean, which provided the direct ancestry through Tomarctus of all of the living canids. A revision is made of the genus Daphoenus and a new, very small species described.
