Acropholis is an extinct genus of prehistoric bony fish that lived during the Wuchiapingian age (Lopingian/late Permian epoch) in what is now Greenland and Hesse (Germany). [2] [3]
The following species are known: [1]
Amblypterus is an extinct genus of ray-finned fish that lived during the Cisuralian epoch in what is now Europe and possibly India and Argentina.
Chichia is an extinct genus of prehistoric bony fish that lived during the Lopingian epoch in what is now Xinjiang, China.
Rhabdolepis is an extinct genus of prehistoric bony fish that lived during the Asselian age of the Cisuralian epoch in what is now Germany and France (Burgundy).
Inichthys is an extinct genus of prehistoric marine bony fish that lived during the Lopingian epoch. Fossils were recovered in the Kuznetsk Basin, European Russia.
Paralogoniscus is an extinct genus of prehistoric bony fish that lived during the Cisuralian epoch in what is now East Kazakhstan, Kazakhstan. It could reach body lengths of up to ca. 50 cm (20 in).
Tienshaniscus is an extinct genus of prehistoric bony fish that lived during the Lopingian epoch in what is now Xinjiang, China.
Dorsolepis is an extinct genus of prehistoric bony fish that lived during the early Anisian age in what is now France (Alsace) and Germany (Baden-Württemberg). Fossils were found in the Grès à Voltzia in Alsace and in the Buntsandstein in Baden-Württemberg.
Scanilepis is an extinct genus of prehistoric bony fish that lived during the Rhaetian-?Hettangian ages. The type species, S. dubia, is known from the Rhaetian freshwater deposits of the Bjuv member of the Höganäs Formation, southwestern Sweden. A second species, S. spitzbergensis was mentioned from the Hettangian of the Festning section of the Grøfjorden area in Spitsbergen, Norway but was never described.
Aeduella is an extinct genus of prehistoric freshwater bony fish that lived during the Gzhelian and Asselian-Sakmarian ages in what is now France, Germany, Switzerland and the Czech Republik.
Boreolepis is an extinct genus of prehistoric bony fish that lived during the Wuchiapingian age in what is now Clavering Island, Greenland, and Vologda Oblast, Russia.
Charleuxia is an extinct genus of prehistoric freshwater bony fish that lived during the Asselian age in what is now Burgundy, France (Autun).
Dipteronotus is an extinct genus of stem-neopterygian ray-finned fish that existed during the Middle and Late Triassic epochs in what is now Europe and Morocco. As a typical feature, it had several ridge scales in front of its dorsal fin that created a spine-like structure.
Westollia is an extinct genus of prehistoric bony fish that lived during the Asselian age in what is now Thuringia, Germany.
Uydenia is an extinct genus of prehistoric bony fish from the Cisuralian of Kazakhstan.
Gardinerichthys is an extinct genus of freshwater actinopterygian bony fish from the Cisuralian epoch of Germany, and the middle Permian of India. The type species, G. latus, was discovered in Asselian aged layers (Rotliegend).
Korutichthys is an extinct genus of prehistoric marine bony fish that lived during the Lopingian epoch in what is now Krasnoyarsk Krai, Russia. It was first referred to the family Amblypteridae, a view that was later questioned.
Acrolepididae is an extinct family of ray-finned fish. Genera referred to Acrolepididae existed from the Early Carboniferous period to the Early Triassic epoch. They were nektonic carnivores with a fusiform body.
Dorypterus is a small, extinct genus of prehistoric ray-finned bony fish. It lived during the Wuchiapingian stage of the late Permian epoch in what is now Germany (Kupferschiefer) and England. It is a hypsisomatic bobasatraniiform with a high dorsal fin. Due to anatomical differences with other bobasatraniiforms, such as the presence of pelvic fins and the reduced scale cover, Dorypterus is placed in its own monotypic family, Dorypteridae.
Brazilichthys is an extinct genus of prehistoric ray-finned fish that lived during the Cisuralian epoch in what is now Maranhão, Brazil. The type and only species, B. macrognathus, is known from a single skull, which was recovered from the Pedra de Fogo Formation.
Pygopterus is an extinct genus of prehistoric bony fish that lived during the Wuchiapingian to Olenekian ages in what is now England, Germany, Greenland and Svalbard (Spitsbergen). It is one of the few genera of ray-finned fish known to cross the Permian-Triassic boundary.
