Hyaenodon ("hyena-tooth") is an extinct genus of carnivorous placental mammals from extinct tribe Hyaenodontini within extinct subfamily Hyaenodontinae (in extinct family Hyaenodontidae), [19] that lived in Eurasia and North America from the middle Eocene, throughout the Oligocene, to the early Miocene.
Hyaenodontidae ("hyena teeth") is a family of placental mammals in the extinct superfamily Hyaenodontoidea. Hyaenodontids arose during the early Eocene and persisted well into the early Miocene . Fossils of this group have been found in Asia, North America and Europe.
Other large hyaenodonts include two close and later-surviving relatives of Simbakubwa, Hyainailouros and Megistotherium (the latter likely being the largest in the group), and the much earlier-living Hyaenodon gigas (the largest species from genus Hyaenodon), which may have been as large as 1.4 m high at the shoulder, 3.0 m long and weighed ...

Van Valen nests the same subfamily (including Oxyaenodon) within Hyaenodontidae. [21] Gunnell is agnostic whether Limnocyonidae is a group within Hyaenodontidae (although a sister group to the rest of hyaenodontids) or entirely separate. [14] According to Gunnell, the defining features of the oxyaenids include: A small braincase low in the skull.

Gervais erected the species P. exiguum in 1873 based on dentition with some similarities to both Pterodon and Hyaenodon but noted that it may constitute a new genus once he has more fossil material. [12] The palaeontologist then corrected himself in 1876 by stating that the species belongs to Hyaenodon as H. exiguum, not Pterodon. [13]
