Africentrum is an extinct genus of prehistoric soldierfish that lived during the Upper Miocene subepoch of what is now Malta. It contains a single species, A. melitense. [2] [1] [3] It has been either recovered as the sister genus to Myripristis or in a polytomy with all the other genera in the subfamily. [4] [5]
Alloberyx is an extinct genus of prehistoric marine ray-finned fish, possibly a holocentrid, that lived during the Santonian of Lebanon. It contains a single species, A. syriacus, initially described as a species of Pseudoberyx.
Australosomus is an extinct genus of prehistoric ray-finned fish that lived during the Early Triassic epoch in what is now Greenland, Kenya, Tanzania, Madagascar, South Africa and Canada.
Tripelta is an extinct genus of prehistoric bony fish that lived during the Anisian age in what is now New South Wales, Australia.
Helmolepis is an extinct genus of ray-finned fish that lived during the Early Triassic epoch in what is now Greenland, Madagascar and Canada. Species of Helmolepis are small. This genus is closely related with Platysiagum.
Dictyopyge is an extinct genus of prehistoric freshwater bony fish. Two species are recognized, D. macrurus and D. meekeri, which both lived during the Carnian age in what is now Virginia, United States.
Xyne is an extinct genus of prehistoric herring that lived during the Upper Miocene subepoch.
Lompoquia retropes is an extinct genus of ray-finned fishes belonging to the family Sciaenidae, the drums. These fishes lived what is now Southern California during the Upper Miocene subepoch.
Agecephalichthys is an extinct genus of prehistoric freshwater "palaeonisciform" bony fish that lived during the Anisian age in what is now New South Wales, Australia.
Chichia is an extinct genus of prehistoric bony fish that lived during the Lopingian epoch in what is now Xinjiang, China.
Euthynotus is an extinct genus of prehistoric bony fish that lived during the early Toarcian stage of the Early Jurassic epoch. It is generally considered the basalmost pachycormiform.
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.
Paracentrophorus is an extinct genus of prehistoric ray-finned fish that lived during the Induan age of the Early Triassic epoch in what is now Madagascar. The type species is Paracentrophorus madagascariensis (monotypy).
Acentrophorus is an extinct genus of prehistoric ray-finned fish from the Wuchiapingian of England and Germany (Kupferschiefer). There may also be a Triassic occurrence in Australia.
Eigilia is an extinct genus of prehistoric bony fish that lived during the Roadian age in what is now Kazakhstan.
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.
Orthocormus is an extinct genus of prehistoric pachycormiform bony fish. It is known from three species found in Late Jurassic (Kimmeridgian) aged plattenkalk deposits in Bavaria, Germany. The species "Hypsocormus" tenuirostris Woodward 1889 from the late Middle Jurassic (Callovian) Oxford Clay is not closely related to the type species of Hypsocormus, and is more closely related to Orthocormus + Protosphyraena, and thus has sometimes been referred to in open nomenclature as Orthocormus? tenuirostris. The species of Orthocormus reached over a metre in length, and are thought to have been pelagic predators.
Phanerosteon is an extinct genus of prehistoric bony fish from the Carboniferous period. The type species, P. mirabile, was recovered from the Calciferous sandstone series (Pennsylvanian), Scotland. A second species, P. phonax was described from the Serpukhovian aged Bear Gulch Limestone lagerstätte in Montana, United States.
Palaeogadus is an extinct genus of prehistoric bony fish. It was a nektonic carnivore found in coastal and estuarine marine environments, with fossils found from the Oligocene to Miocene at sites in Denmark, Germany, Poland, Georgia, and Azerbaijan.
