Stenoplesictis is an extinct genus of carnivorous cat-like mammals belonging to the infraorder Aeluroidea, from Europe (Quercy, France) and Asia (Mongolia) (S. indigenus), from the Oligocene 33.9—28.4 Ma, existing for about 5.5 million years.^[1]

Stenoplesictis is shown to have an omnivorous diet or more precisely, hypercarnivorous to mesocarnivorous.^[2]^[3]

Taxonomy

Stenoplesictis was named by Filhol (1880). It was assigned to the Aeluroidea by Hunt (1989) and Hunt (1998); to the Viverridae by Flynn (1998); and reassigned to the Stenoplesictidae by Morlo et al. (2007).^[4]^[5]
