Pannonictis

Pannonictis is a genus of extinct mustelids. It is first known from the very Late Pliocene, and it survived until the end of the Villafranchian. The genus is most commonly recorded from deposits between 2.6 and 1.4 Ma. Fossil remains of Pannonictis have been found throughout Eurasia, from the Iberian Peninsula to eastern China.

==Taxonomy== Pannonictis is closely related to another prehistoric genus, Enhydrictis. At least four different species are recognised; P. pliocaenica, P. pachygnatha, P. nestii, and P. baroniensis. Another species known as P. pilgrimi is no longer valid, and most likely a synonym of P. pliocaenica. In the past, Martellictis ardea was also at one point considered a species of Pannonictis, but it has since been moved to its own genus.
