Subparictis is an extinct genus of carnivoran mammals in the family Subparictidae that inhabited North America.
Subparictis was originally described as a subgenus of Parictis for Parictis (Subparictis) gilpini in 1972. [1] It also included three other species: S. dakotensis, which had first been described in 1936; [2] S. parvus, which was first described in 1967; [3] and S. montanus, which was described in the same 1972 paper that named the subgenus. [1]
The genus Parictis was revised, and Subparictis elevated to a full genus, in an extensive re-description in 1996. [4] It is assigned to the early arctoid family Subparictidae as of 2023. [5]
