Cyrnaonyx
''Cyrnaonyx'' is an extinct genus of Lutrinae, otters from the Pleistocene. It was originally described by Helbing based on materials from France and he also attributed material from Corse to it. The latter appeared to belong to another species and genus, ''Algarolutra majori''. The only species of ''Cyrnaonyx'' is ''C. antiqua''. It is known from the Pleistocene (Holsteinian to Eemian/Weichselian) of Europe: France, Germany, Netherlands, Southern England and probably Italy. The dentition is more robust than in the common otter ''Lutra'' and the diet probably consisted of more crustaceans and less fish, like in modern ''Aonyx''. The skull was hover not arched as in the latter which points to a more aquatic, swimming behaviour. == Sources ==
