''Lokotunjailurus'' is an extinct genus of saber-toothed cats (Machairodontinae) which existed in Kenya and Chad during the Miocene epoch. The type species ''L. emageritus'' was documented by Lars Werdelin based on fossils found at the Lothagam site in Kenya. He described it as a large felid with an extremely long claw on one digit. He named the genus from the Turkana word for "cat" and the species from the word for "claw". Werdelin considered ''L. emageritus'' to be similar to ''Homotherium'' in dentition and to represent a basal member of Homotherini.〔 A second species ''L. fanonei'' was described from fossils found in the Toros Menalla Formation in the Djurab Desert of Chad. The deposits date to the Late Miocene (7 mya).〔 ==References==
