Dissopsalis

Dissopsalis ("double scissors") is a genus of teratodontine hyaenodonts of the tribe Dissopsalini.

[3][4] The older species, D. pyroclasticus, lived in Kenya during the middle Miocene, while the type species, D. carnifex, lived in Pakistan and India during the middle to late Miocene.

It lived alongside its relative Hyaenodon weilini, a member of the very successful genus Hyaenodon, during the Miocene in China.

Dissopsalis survived to the end of the Miocene, whereas H. weilini did not.
