Magerictis is a fossil genus ofailurid with a single speciesMagerictis imperialenis (sometimes spelledMagerictis imperialis), which was originally known from a single m2 tooth. Several more specimens were later found, but were undescribed as of 2014.^[1]^[2]

Taxonomy & evolution

[edit]

Magerictis is placed in the subfamilyAilurinae, though its relationship to other genera and species in that subfamily are still unknown. It is considered to have likely evolved from a species ofAmphictis.^[2]

Description

[edit]

Magerictics imperialenis is estimated to have been slightly smaller than the closely relatedParailurus and similar in size to the extant relativeAilurus. It differs from both genera in that the m2 was "completely basined with all cuspids, including that of the trigonid, being located at the tooth margin, which implies that protoconid and metaconid are not connected" per Morlo & Peigne 2014. The sole described specimen was found at a site nearMadrid of earlyMiocene age.^[2]
