Synonyms

Allohyaena is an extinct genus of hyaenids that lived in Europe and Turkey during the Late Miocene. [1] [2] Like most modern hyaenids, Allohyaena had durophagous adaptations to support the consumption of bones. [3]

Taxonomy

Allohyaena was erected by Kretzoi in 1938, with A. kadici as the type species. [2] Dinocrocuta minor from Turkey was described by Ozansoy in 1965 [4] and later reassigned to Allohyaena as A. minor. [5] A. sarmatica was described by Semenov in 1994. [6]
