Miopanthera is an extinct genus of Pseudaelurus-grade felids.

==Taxonomy== The genus Miopanthera was first proposed in 1938 by Kretzoi for the species Pseudaelurus lorteti. P. lorteti had previously been described as such in 1899, upon the discovery of fossils in Europe. However, Kretzoi's proposal was largely ignored by later authors. A 2010 review of the Felidae proposed splitting the genus Pseudaelurus in three, and suggested assigning P. lorteti to the genus Styriofelis alongside P. turnauensis.
