Biology:Galanthisictis
From HandWiki
Galanthisictis is an extinct monotypic genus of mustelid carnivoran that lived in what is now Spain during the Messinian stage of the Miocene epoch.
Etymology
Its original generic name, Galanthis, refers to the Greek mythological woman Galanthis. This name turned out to be preoccupied by the name of a genus of marine gastropod Galanthis Gistel (1848), necessitating the creation of a replacement name.[1] The specific epithet of the type species, G. baskini, honours Dr. Jon A. Baskin, a vertebrate palaeontologist who specialised in studying Neogene musteloids.[2]
