Six new occurrences of carnivorous mammals from Wadi Moghra, early Miocene, Egypt, are described, and the implications of these taxa for interpreting the biogeography of early Miocene mammals are discussed. The new taxa include two hyaenodontid creodonts (Buhakia moghraensis, gen. et sp. nov., and cf. Teratodon) and four carnivorans: an amphicyonid (Cynelos, sp. nov.), two viverrids s. l. (Herpestides aegypticus, sp. nov., and Ketketictis solida, gen. et sp. nov.), and a stenoplesictid (Moghradictis nedjema, gen. et sp. nov.). Previously only two carnivorous mammals, both large creodonts (Hyainailouros fourtaui, Megistotherium osteothlastes), had been reported from Moghra. Together, the eight carnivorous taxa now known from Moghra include not only some representatives of widespread genera common to localities across Eurasia and Africa, but also a number of unique faunal elements, including three new genera and five new species. Evidence for two alternate hypotheses concerning the timing of carnivore migrations events are discussed: 1) an early Miocene (ca. MN 3) event followed by a slightly later (MN 4-5) one; or 2) an even earlier first migration in the late Oligocene-early Miocene (MN 1 or even MP 30), considered here to be the more likely scenario.
