Stenogale is an extinct genus of carnivorans whose fossils are found in France, Germany, and Switzerland.^[1]

Morphology[edit]

The presence of accessory cusps on the premolars and other dental characters are present in stenogales, a characteristic that is shared by Barbourofelidae and Felidae.^[3]

Taxonomy[edit]

Its placement in Feliformia has undergone revision since its discovery; it has been assigned to Mustelinae, Mustelidae, and Aeluroidea before its most recent assignment to Feloidea.^[1]
