Canina is a taxon which represents the wolf-like subtribe of the tribe Canini, and is sister to the subtribe Cerdocyonina. Fossils of this group date to 5 million years ago; however, they are likely to have been in existence 9 million years ago.^[3]^: 4 Its members as a group are colloquially known as the wolf-like canids.^[4]^[5]^[6]

Taxonomy

This subtribe is defined by two synapomorphies: A zygoma that is strongly arched dorsoventrally, and the usual presence of a second posterior cusp on p4 lying between the first posterior cusp and the cingulum.

— Richard H. Tedford^[3]

Members of the subtribe Canina are able to produce canid hybrids due to their shared karyotype of 78 chromosomes arranged in 39 pairs.^[4]

The cladogram below is based on the phylogeny of Lindblad-Toh et al. (2005),^[5] modified to incorporate recent findings on Canis species.^[7]^[8]
