Ursoideais a superfamily ofarctoidcarnivoranmammalsthat includes the familiesSubparictidae,[1][2]Amphicynodontidae,[3][2]andUrsidae.The last family includes the extant lineages ofbears,as well as the extinctHemicyoninae[4][5]andUrsavinae.[6]
The interrelationships of ursoids has had slight arrangements. In the past it was thought the extinctAmphicyonidaewere stem-bears based on morphological analysis of the ear region,[7]though the most recent publications on early amphicyonids suggests they were basalcaniforms.[8][9][10]
The amphicynodontids are sometimes classified as either a subfamily of bears,[3]a paraphyletic assemblage of early bears,[2]or even stem-pinnipeds.[11][12][13]The subparictids were previously classified as amphicynodontine/ids.[2]The hemicyonines have been occasionally reclassified as a separatefamily.[14]
