Dinailurictis was an extinct nimravid carnivoran (or "false sabre-toothed cat") belonging to the subfamily Nimravinae.

[1] Dinailurictis was one of the larger nimravids of its time, measuring at 1 meter in height at the shoulder and being intermediate between a lion and leopard in mass.

Having had a sleek body like caracal, with its back being elongated and having feet more resembling basal Feliformia members like civets, with partially retractable claws.

Initial remains from La Tuque, France consisted of a left, upper canine noticeably larger than Eofelis, Nimravus, and Eusmilus.

Dinailurictis does resemble and was related to Nimravus as members of the Nimravinae subfamily, but do the two genera differ in several anatomical traits.
