Paramiacis

Paramiacis ("near Miacis") is an extinct genus of placental mammals from clade Carnivoraformes, that lived in Europe from middle to late Eocene.^[6][7] Species P. exilis and P. teilhardi were long believed to be a same species (P. exilis), with differences that were only represented as an example of sexual dimorphism.
