DIAGNOSIS. — Small Mustelida. Shallow corpus mandibulae, deep masseteric fossa distally to the level of m2 but more shallow in its upper part and gently diminishing; broad ascending ramus at its base but the distal border being oblique forward, it is narrowing up to the condyle before being broken off. Condyle situated high; small, medially advanced and slightly down directed angular process. High trigonid of m1 with protoconid far higher than the other cuspids and with an almost vertical distal face; protoconid and paraconid provide a clear buccal shearing surface; metaconid pointed and higher than the paraconid but not especially reduced or distally displaced. ETYMOLOGY. — From latin ictis (weasel) and dedicated to the late Stéphane Peigné for his work on Carnivora .
