Stromeriella depressa is an extinct species of procyonid, a member of the raccoon family, described by Morlo in 1996 in his study of carnivorans from the Lower Miocene of the Mainz Basin in Germany. The Paleobiology Database records one fossil occurrence, in the Rhineland-Palatinate and Hesse area, and dates it from the Aquitanian to the Burdigalian stages, between about 22.4 and 20 million years ago, which makes it the older of the two Stromeriella species the database holds. The Wikipedia article on the family names Stromeriella among the procyonids that lived in the Old World before dying out, in contrast to the living members of the family, which are all American.
