Stromeriella franconica is an extinct species of procyonid, a member of the raccoon family, and the species Dehm described in 1950 when the genus Stromeriella was named. The Paleobiology Database records three fossil occurrences across southern Germany and France, in Bavaria, in Maine-et-Loire and in Indre-et-Loire, and dates the species from the Burdigalian to the Langhian stages of the Miocene, between about 20.5 and 13.8 million years ago. The Wikipedia article on the family lists it with Stromeriella depressa as one of the procyonids that lived in the Old World, far from the American range of the living raccoons and coatis.
