New skull of Megantereon inexpectatus (Carnivora: Machairodontinae) and its implications on evolution of Megantereon in North China - Swiss Journal of Palaeontology
Megantereon is an iconic sabertoothed cat known from the Quaternary deposits of the Old World, being its evolutionary scenario and phylogenetic relationships hotly debated the last decades. Several au...

All cats trace back ~25–30M yrs to Proailurus (pro-AY-luh-rus), the first true cat (Felidae) 🐾
One branch became the extinct sabertooths (Machairodontinae – mah-KAI-roh-DON-tin-ee) 🦷: massive hunters like Smilodon and Homotherium, and lesser-known Lokotunjailurus.

Homotherium belongs to the cat subfamily Machairodontinae, which split from the lineage of all living cats about 20 million years ago. Another well-known Machairodont is Smilodon, the saber-toothed cat (not a tiger!)

xenosmilus' name is derived from greek, and translates to 'strange knife', a tribute to its unusual blend of ostensibly taxonomically disparate traits and of course its sabre-teeth, iconic to machairodontinae

Eu preferia virar nome de espécie extinta.

you mean smilodon?
ok well smilodon belongs to a subfamily of felids called the machairodontinae - the sabre-toothed cats - that aren't related to pantherines (such as tigers). there were three species of smilodon that ranged from north to south america

machairodontinae -- from Ancient Greek for 'sword tooth', which makes sense
What Fabrini was thinking when he coined Homotherium, though, I have no idea.
