Galidictis is a genus in the subfamily Galidiinae of the family Eupleridae: a group of carnivorans that are endemic to Madagascar.[1]

It contains the following two species and two subspecies:[1]

^ Merriam-Webster Unabridged Dictionary attributes it to "NL, fr. Gk galideus young weasel + iktis yellow-breasted marten [an ambiguous common name that might be the weasel]." However, Lewis and Short describes ictis (ἴκτις ) as simply "a kind of weasel".[1] Archived 2013-11-02 at the Wayback Machine Brill's New Pauly likewise also writes that "ἴκτις /íktis may be a weasel"[2].
