后猫属学名Metailurus)是后猫族下的一,生存于约900-600万年前的欧洲亚洲模式种大后猫

剑齿虎的犬齿长而扁平,现存猫科动物的犬齿为短锥齿。而后猫的犬齿介于二者之间。由于现今发现的后猫化石都是碎片,所以该属下的分类仍有争议。[1]

系统分类

后猫属是师丹斯基根据中国山西保德河南新安甘肃庆阳等晚中新世的一些带剑齿的猫科头骨下颌所建,最初包括大后猫(M. major)和小后猫(M. minor),后来又纳入蒙古后猫(M. mongoliensis)、横断山后猫(M. hengduanshanensis)和最晚后猫(M. ultimus)。小后猫现归入吉猫属(Yoshi)。蒙古后猫现则认为地位未定。[2]
