REMARKS

The history of Palaeogale is complicated (see Bonis 1981). At present, two species are recognized in Western Europe: the Oligocene P. sectoria and the early Miocene P. minuta. The former was identified in Valbro ( Peigné et al. 2014: fig. 22C) from a P4. It is at present the oldest known occurrence of the species.
