Limnocyonidae
Limnocyonidae ("swamp dogs") is a family of extinct predatory mammals from extinct order Hyaenodonta. Fossil remains of these mammals are known from late Paleocene to late Eocene deposits in North America and Asia. Limnocyonids had only two molars in the upper and lower dentition.

Prolimnocyon
''Prolimnocyon'' ("before ''Limnocyon''") is an extinct Paraphyly, paraphyletic genus of Limnocyonidae, limnocyonid Hyaenodonta, hyaenodonts that lived in Asia and North America during the late Paleocene to middle Eocene. ''Prolimnocyon chowi'' is the earliest known member of the hyaenodontid family Limnocyonidae.
