Semigenetta is an extinct genus of viverrid. It lived in Europe, China, and Thailand in the Miocene,[1] and was very similar to the extant genus Genetta, but lacked a molar that Genetta still possesses.[2]

Palaeoecology

At the Late Miocene site of Hammerschmiede, S. sansaniensis competed with "Martes" sansaniensis and with Alopecocyon goeriachensis and was the most hypercarnivorous out of the three.[3]
