(Carnivora: Mammalia), from the lower Miocene of Turkey 2019 Access copy available to the general public Unrestricted Lophocyonids are one of the more enigmatic groups of Carnivora in the European Miocene fossil record. Lophocyonids are clearly distinguished from other Feliformia by their peculiar lophodont dental morphology. For this reason, the systematic relationships of the family have been controversial. Here we describe and interpret dental remains from the early Miocene of Sabuncubeli, Turkey, which we attribute to a new genus and species: Izmirictis cani. The phylogenetic analysis allows us to include Izmirictis within a monophyletic group, Lophocyonidae new rank, characterized by the molarization of the anterior premolars (P3 and p4), the lophodont adaptation of the molar dentition and the complex morphology of the incisors. The phylogenetic analysis shows a close relationship between Izmirictis and primitive hyaenids (represented herein by Protictitherium). The divergence between Lophocyonidae and Hyaenidae is estimated by biochronological data to have occurred during the early Miocene (MN2). Dental microwear analysis, although limited by poor dental enamel preservation, indicates that the pronounced lophodonty in Izmirictis cani could be connected to a herbivorous feeding habit. info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/AEI-FEDER/CGL2016-76431-P info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MINECO-FEDER/CGL2015-68333-P info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess All rights reserved http://www.europeana.eu/rights/rr-f/ 2.833 2019 PALEONTOLOGY 5 / 55 = 0.091 2019 Q1 T1 EVOLUTIONARY BIOLOGY 21 / 50 = 0.42 2019 Q2 T2 1.097 2019 Paleontology 2019 Q1 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/acceptedVersion Mayda, S.
