context_page_description: Eusmilus is a prehistoric genus of nimravid that lived in Europe during the Late Eocene to Early Oligocene epochs.
context_section_description: There are two valid species of Eusmilus, E. bidentatus and E. villebramarensis. Ekgmoiteptecela MacDonald, 1963 was synonymized with Eusmilus by some authors, but is actually synonymous with Hoplophoneus.
  One study performed in 2016 suggests that Eusmilus is a non-valid genus, and moved all North American species to Hoplophoneus.
