Abstract
The right dentary of a small carnivore from near Ayaguz in eastern Kaz akstan is identified as Franconictis sp. aff. F. vireti (Dehm). Franco itictis has previously been reported only from the early Miocene of Eu rope. Previous reports of Plesictis from Asia are not well founded. Fr anconictis from Ayaguz extends the geographic range of the genus into Asia and its temporal range back to the late Oligocene.
