Pachypanthera is an extinct genus of pantherine felid (big cat) that was recovered from the Late Miocene-aged Khorat sand pits in northeastern Thailand. It contains a single species, Pachypanthera piriyai, named and described in 2023.
==Discovery and naming== Both the holotype and paratype were discovered in the Khorat sand pits in the Nakhon Ratchasima province of northeastern Thailand. This locality was dated to the Late Miocene, some 9 to 6 million years ago. The fossils were collected by a local amateur, described and named in 2023, and afterwards stored at the geological department of the Chulalongkorn University in Bangkok.
