Abstract

Dinobastis is reported from the late Pleistocene of Nebraska, and Smilodon from the middle through the late Pleistocene. lschyrosmilus is a synonym of Homotherium, but Dinobastis is not. lschyrosmilus should not be confused with "Smilodon" gracilis, which is considered an advanced species of Megantereon.
