Angelarctocyon is an extinct genus of Amphicyonidae (bear dog), which belongs to the order Carnivora.
It was originally interpreted as a miacid and named Miacis australis; however, recent research has suggested it is an early amphicyonid. [1] Analysis of skeletal morphology suggests it is most closely related to another taxon previously attributed to Miacidae, Miacis cognitus , and the well known New World amphicyonid, Daphoenus .
