List of historically extinct subspecies
Subspecies discovered since the publishing of MSW3 in 2005 which have gone extinct over the past 150 yearsExtinct subspecies of Canis lupus
Sicilian wolf
The Sicilian wolf (Canis lupus cristaldi) (Sicilian: lupu sicilianu) is an extinct subspecies of the gray wolf that was endemic to Sicily. It was paler than the mainland Italian wolf and comparable in size to the extant Arabian wolf and extinct Japanese wolf. The subspecies reportedly went extinct due to human persecution in the 1920s, through there were several possible sightings up to the 1970s. It was identified as a distinct subspecies. In 2018 through morphological examinations of the few remaining mounted specimens and skulls, as well as mtDNA analysesName : Sicilian wolf

Description : A slender, short-legged subspecies with light, tawny-colored fur. The dark bands present on the mainland Italian wolf were absent or poorly defined in the Sicilian wolf
Range : SicilyPleistocene wolf
The Pleistocene wolf (Canis lupus), sometimes referred to as the Late Pleistocene wolf or megafaunal wolf, is an extinct Late Pleistocene - early Holocene hypercarnivore. While comparable in size to a large modern grey wolf. It possessed a shorter, broader palate with large carnassials teeth relative to its overall skull size, allowing it to prey and scavenge on Pleistocene megafauna. Such an adaptation is an example of phenotypic plasticity. It was once distributed across the northern HolarcticName : Pleistocene wolf

The Beringian wolf is an extinct kind of wolf (Canis lupus) that lived during the Ice Age. It inhabited what is not modern-day Alaska, Yukon, and northern Wyoming. Some of these wolves survived well into the Holocene. The Beringian wolf is an ecomorph of the gray wolf and has been comprehensively studied using a range of scientific techniques, yielding new information on the prey species and feeding behaviour of prehistoric wolves. It has been determined that these wolves are morphologically distinct from modern North American wolves and genetically basal to most modern and extinct wolves. The Beringian wolf has not been assigned a subspecies classification and its relationship with the extinct European cave wolf (Canis lupus spelaeus) is not clear
