Megalictis
''Megalictis'' (great weasel) is an extinct genus of large predatory mustelids, which existed in North America during the "cat gap" in the Miocene period. The genus was first described by W. D. Matthew in 1907. Two similar genera discovered at the same time, ''Aelurocyon'' (Peterson, 1907) and ''Paroligobunis'' (Peterson, 1910) were identified as synonymous with ''Megalictis'' in 1996,〔Andersson, p.39〕 though ''Paroligobunis'' was re-established as a separate genus in 1998.〔Paleobiology Database〕 P. R. Bjork, in 1970, assigned the genus to the subfamily ''Mellivorinae'',〔Bjork, p.18〕 whilst J. A. Baskin assigned it to ''Oligobuninae'' in 1998.〔 Three species have been identified in the genus: ''M. frazieri'', ''M. ferox'', and ''M. petersoni'', whilst two more, ''M. brevifacies'' and ''M. simplicidens'', have since been determined to be synonymous with ''M. ferox''.〔 ==Notes==
