Phlaocyon annectens is an extinct species of the genus Phlaocyon, belonging to the subfamily Borophaginae and tribe Phlaocyonini, a canid endemic to central and western North America from the Late Oligocene to Early Miocene living 24.6—20.8 mya and existed for approximately {{Mya|24.8-20.6|million years}}.
Taxonomy
Phlaocyon annectens was named by {{Harvnb|Peterson|1907}}. Its type locality is Beardog Hill, which is in a Harrisonian fluvial sandstone in the Upper Harrison Beds Formation of Nebraska. It was recombined as Phlaocyon annectens by Vanderhill (1980) and {{Harvnb|Wang|Tedford|Taylor|1999}}.
