Cladosictis (†Cladosictis (Ameghino 1887))
Synonyms: Agustylus Ameghino 1887, Anatherium Ameghino 1887, Hathliacynus Ameghino 1887, Ictioborus Ameghino 1891
 
Order: †Sparassodonta
Family: †Hathliacynidae
Dimensions: length - 80 cm, height - 20 сm, weight ~5 kg
Time period: Early-Mid Miocene of South America (~17.5–15.5 Ma)
 
 
Cladosictis is an extinct genus of South American metatherian from Patagonia, Argentina (Chichinales, Cerro Bandera, Sarmiento and Santa Cruz Formations) and Chile (Río Frias Formation).
It was an otter-like creature of about 80 centimetres long. Its body and tail were long, the limbs were short. Cladosictis probably hunted small creatures in low undergrowth, using its low posture for cover. Possibly, it also fed on bird and reptile eggs. With sharp canines and slicing carnassials, Cladosictis's teeth were similar to those of carnivorans, although the groups were unrelated.
