Morphology

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

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]
