Pannonictis nestii(Galictinae, Mustelidae), a new element in the vertebrate association of the human site of Pirro Nord (Italy, Early Pleistocene)

Abstract: Systematic excavations in the Early Pleistocene site of Pirro Nord (Apulia, southern Italy) yielded some remains of a relatively rare mustelid belonging to the subfamily of Galictinae Reig, 1956 Colombero S. et al.

“…) to those of Pannonictis nestii given by Colombero et al . (, Fig. ), they seem to be similar; moreover, the dimensions of the LIV lower canines (8.7 × 5.5 and 8.8 × 5.6 mm) are very close to those of P. nestii (8.7 × 5.5 and 7.5 × 4.8 mm) (data from Steensma and Colombero et al .…”

“…), they seem to be similar; moreover, the dimensions of the LIV lower canines (8.7 × 5.5 and 8.8 × 5.6 mm) are very close to those of P. nestii (8.7 × 5.5 and 7.5 × 4.8 mm) (data from Steensma and Colombero et al . ). Therefore, the LIV material could belong to this species but, as the available material is limited, it is better to refer it to as Pannonictis sp.…”

“…The dispute arose mainly due to the scantiness and the sparse nature of their fossil record.The main conclusion about the Pannonictis remains from Palan-Tyukan was reached after a detailed morphological and metrical analysis. The adult left hemimandible originally assigned to Enhydrictis ardea (Bravard, 1828) by Sotnikova and Sablin (1993) is very similar to the hemimandibles from Liventsovka (Sotnikova et al 2002), Upper Valdarno (Martelli 1906), Pietrafitta (Rook 1995) and Atapuerca (García and Howell 2008), all assigned to Pannonictis nestii (Table 3), a smaller and more slender species of the Pannonictis genus (Colombero et al 2012). A strictly aquatic life of the species, comparable to the style of otters, is not likely, but semiaquatic habitats close to lakes are suggested, similar to those of their phylogenetic descendant, the American Galictis species (Peters and de Vos 2012).…”

“…Pannonictis remains have been recovered from 25 Early Pleistocene Eurasian sites (Martelli 1906;Sotnikova 1980;Stuart 1982;Rook 1995;Sotnikova et al 2002;García and Howell 2008;Titov 2008;Colombero et al 2012;Peters and de Vos 2012;Madurell-Malapeira et al 2014;Lucenti 2018b). The taxonomic scenario of the Plio-Pleistocene tribe Galictini of Eurasia is intricate and has been debated since the beginning of the last century.…”

Their latest continental record in Europe seems to be Atapuerca, Spain (García and Howell, 2008), but they still occur much later in Sardinia (Major, 1901;Ficcarelli and Torre, 1967).…”
