Pannonictis is a genus of extinct mustelids. It is first known from the very Late Pliocene and survived until the end of the Villafranchian, and is most commonly recorded from deposits between 2.6 and 1.4 Ma. Remains of Pannonictis have been found throughout Eurasia, from the Iberian Peninsula to eastern China.[2]
