Species Pannonictis nestii ( Martelli, 1906)

Type locality: Upper Valdarno , Italy .

Age of the type locality: Early Pleistocene, MNQ18.

Description. The remains belong to one adult individual.

Left hemimandible. The specimen ZIN 34173 ( Fig. 2B, C and D) is only partly preserved. The m1 (L=13.0 mm; Ltri = 8.4 mm; W= 5.5 mm), the m2 (L= 3.3 mm; W= 3.6 mm) and part of the p4 are the only teeth present. The horizontal branch has been fractured, damaging the robust p4. The hemimandible appears stout and low. The inferior mandibular margin rises gently just beneath the m1 talonid. The height of mandibular rami (on m1) is 14.9 mm; the mandibular thickness (on m1) is 7.3 mm; the massive index (height mandible corpus below m1 / breadth mandible corpus at m1) is 2.0. The masseteric fossa almost reaches the m2. The m1 is moderately worn. The protoconid is stout and well developed. The paraconid is well developed too ( Fig. 2D). The metaconid is not in line with the protoconid but located slightly posterior to the latter. The talonid is complete and we can see the well developed hypoconid. The m2 is round-shaped in occlusal view.
