Dissopsalis ('double scissors') is an extinct genus of hyaenodonts from extinct tribe Dissopsalini within family Teratodontidae.[3][4] The older species, D. pyroclasticus, lived in Kenya during the middle Miocene (15.0 to 11.4 Ma),[5][6] while the type species, D. carnifex, lived in India and Pakistan during the early to late Miocene (16.1 to 7.5 Ma).[6][7][8] Dissopsalis was the last known hyaenodont genus.[6][7]
