Machairodontinae Wikiwand The machairodontinae comprise a number of basal taxa (promegantereon, machairodus, nimravides, dinofelis, metailurus) and a well supported clade of primarily plio pleistocene taxa (megantereon, smilodon, amphimachairodus, homotherium, xenosmilus) for which the name eumachairodontia taxon novum is proposed. previous phenetic grouping of. The last surviving members of the machairodontinae belonged to the genus smilodon (tribe smilodontini). while once widespread across the continents of north america ( s. fatalis) and south america ( s. populator), the genus went extinct ~10 thousand years ago (kya) 3, 4. Salesa mj, anton m, turner a, morales j (2010) functional anatomy of the forelimb in promegantereon ogygia (felidae, machairodontinae, smilodontini) from the late miocene of spain and the origins of the sabre toothed felid model. j anat 216: 381–369. Members of smilodontini are defined by their long slender canines with fine to no serrations, whereas homotherini are typified by shorter, broad, and more flattened canines, with coarser serrations. members of metailurini were less specialized and had shorter, less flattened canines, and are not recognized as members of machairodontinae by some.
