''Galidictis'' is a genus in the subfamily Galidiinae of the family Eupleridae: a group of carnivorans that are endemic to Madagascar. The name is from two ancient Greek words that both approximately mean ‘weasel’: ''galid-'' (see ''Galidia'') and ''iktis''.〔''Merriam-Webster Unabridged Dictionary'' notes it being "NL, fr. Gk ''galideus'' young weasel + ''iktis'' yellow-breasted marten (ambiguous common name that might be the weasel )." However, Lewis and Short describes ''ictis'' (ἴκτις) as simply "a kind of weasel".() ''Brill’s New Pauly'' likewise also writes that "ἴκτις/íktis may be a weasel"().〕 It contains the following two species and two subspecies: 〔 * Broad-striped Malagasy mongoose (''Galidictis fasciata'') * *''Galidictis fasciata fasciata'' * *''Galidictis fasciata striatus'' * Grandidier's mongoose (''Galidictis grandidieri'') ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Galidictis」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
