Promephitis malustenensis

Promephitis malustenensis is an extinct skunk named by Simionescu in 1930, one of eleven species currently recognised in the genus Promephitis. The Wikipedia article on the genus spells the epithet malustensis, while the Paleobiology Database uses malustenensis. The Paleobiology Database accepts it as a valid species but lists no fossil occurrence for it, so no dated range is recorded here. Promephitis belongs to the skunk family Mephitidae and is known from Miocene and Pliocene fossils of Europe and Asia. Its species are told apart from other carnivorans by a distinctive fourth premolar and a very small second premolar, and the genus has been likened to the two living stink badgers of Southeast Asia.
