Canis nehringi is an extinct species of canid. Canis gezi, a poorly known small wolf from the Ensenadan of South America, appears to have given rise to Canis nehringi, a Lujanian species from Argentina. Betra’s (1988) analysis[1] places Canis dirus and Canis nehringi as sister taxa and as the most derived members of the genus Canis in the New World.
