OR:

''Hemimachairodus'' is an extinction, extinct genus of saber-tooth cat of the tribe Machairodontini and subfamily Machairodontinae. The type species, ''Hemimachairodus zwierzyckii'' was previously assigned to the genus ''Homotherium''. Fossil segments of Hemimachairodus were unearthed in Pleistocene dig sites in Java in Indonesia alongside other predators such as ''Panthera tigris'', ''Homotherium ultimum'', and ''Megacyon merriami'', and it most likely competed with these species for prey.
