The '''Daphoeninae''' are an extinct [[subfamily]] of dog-like, [[Terrestrial animal|terrestrial]] [[carnivore]]s, which belonged to the family [[Amphicyonidae]] of the [[suborder]] [[Caniformia]]. The group inhabited North America from the [[Middle Eocene]] subepoch to the [[Middle Miocene]] subepoch 42—15.97 million years ago (Mya), existing for about {{Mya|42-15.97|million years}}.<ref>[https://paleobiodb.org/classic/checkTaxonInfo?taxon_no=41279 Paleobiology Database: ''Daphoenus'', age range and collections]</ref><br />

==Fossil distribution==<br />
''Daphoenus'' fossils found in late Oligocene rocks in the [[Great Plains]] are dated about 28 million years old. ''Daphoenus'' survived to 27 Mya in the [[Pacific Northwest]] in the [[John Day Fossil Beds National Monument|John Day]] beds of Oregon.<ref>{{cite book |chapter=Global Climate and the Evolution of Large Mammalian Carnivores during the Later Cenozoic in North America |title=Cenozoic Carnivores and Global Climate |last=Hunt |first=Robert M.
