DIAGNOSIS (as the type species modified from Wang & Qiu 2003 ). — Medium-sized Amphicynodontidae ; mandible height tapering medially; two mental foramina, one under the distal root of p3 and another, very large, under p1 and p2; premolars low; p1-p3 very asymmetrical and mesially inclined; presence of diastemas before and after p4, the latter tooth with well-developed pacd; m1 low with a short paraconid and a relatively reduced metaconid; relatively long m2 without paraconid; no notch between protoconid and cristid obliqua in one hand and between postmetaconid cristid and preentoconid cristid in the other hand. ETYMOLOGY. — From ictis (latin: weasel) and dedicated to Xiaoming Wang for his work on Carnivora . REMARKS Wang & Qiu (2003) described a new species allocated to the genus Pachycynodon recovered during a field campaign to Nei Mongol by the Institute of Vertebrate Paleontology and Paleoanthropology, Beijing (IVPP). Comparing this taxon to European representatives of the Pachycynodon , it appears that it belongs to a new genus that we here name Wangictis n. gen.
