Parictis

Parictis is an extinct arctoid belonging to the family Subparictidae.

==Taxonomy & evolution== It was originally described as a new genus and species Parietis princeous of mustelid by Scott in 1893, for a single specimen, a mandible fragment with two anterior molars. An alternative name and spelling, ?Parictis princeps, was proposed in 1894; and in 1904 both the genus and species name were declared to be in error and the name Parictis primaevus was assigned.
