Lupulella is a genus of canine found in Africa. This genus consists of only two extant species, the black-backed jackal (Lupulella mesomelas) and the side-striped jackal (Lupulella adusta).
==Taxonomy== The two species had previously been considered members of the genus Canis. In 2017, a taxonomic review recommended that these two species be recognised as genus Lupulella. In response to this review, the American Society of Mammalogists recognised the new genus.
