The broad-striped Malagasy mongoose (''Galidictis fasciata'') is a species of Galidiinae, a subfamily of mongoose-like euplerids native to Madagascar. The species contains two known subspecies: ''Galidictis fasciata fasciata'' and ''Galidictis fasciata striata''.〔 Their main distinguishing factors are their stripes and their tails; ''G. f. fasciata'' has a fuller, reddish-brown tail and 8-10 stripes, while ''G. f. striata'' has a thinner, white tail and 5 stripes. They are all forest-dweller on the eastern side of the island, and their primary prey is small rodents. This species is most active in the evening and at night. The specific epithet ''fasciata'' means ‘banded’ in Latin. Its local common name is ''vontsira fotsy'', ‘white ''vontsira''’ in Malagasy.〔(Blench, Roger and Martin Walsh: ''Faunal names in Malagasy: their etymologies and implications for the prehistory of the East African coast (2009) ) Re-linked 2014-08-13〕 == External links ==
