Paramiacis ("near Miacis") is an extinct genus of placental mammals from clade Carnivoraformes, that lived in Europe from the middle to late Eocene.[6][7] Species P. exilis and P. teilhardi were long believed to be the same species (P. exilis), with differences that were only represented as an example of sexual dimorphism.
