They were endemic to North America , Europe , and Asia from the Middle Eocene through the Late Miocene epochs ( Bartonian through Tortonian stages, 40.4—7.2 mya ), spanning about 33.2 million years ...
The type genus, Barbourofelis, was originally described by Schultz et al. (1970) and assigned to a new tribe, Barbourofelini, within the felid subfamily Machairodontinae, along with the other sabre-toothed cats. [5] Subsequently, the tribe was reassigned to the Nimravidae by Tedford (1978) and raised to a subfamily by Bryant (1991).
