Wikipedia Abstract

Speothos is a genus of canid found in Central and South America. The genus includes the living bush dog, Speothos venaticus, as well as an extinct Pleistocene species, Speothos pacivorus. Unusually, the fossil species was identified and named prior to the discovery of the extant species, with the result that the type species of Speothos is S. pacivorus.
