Daedalichthys is an extinct genus of prehistoric freshwater ray-finned fish that lived during the Early Triassic epoch. [1] [2] It contains a single species, D. formosa (=D. higginsiWarren, 1936) from the Olenekian-aged Cynognathus Assemblage Zone of South Africa. It was previously classified in Dictyopyge . [3] [4] [5]
It was a member of the redfieldiiforms, a group of presumed basal neopterygians that were widespread during the Triassic. [6]
Whiteia is an extinct genus of prehistoric coelacanth fish which lived during the Triassic period. It is named after Errol White.
Atopocephala is an extinct genus of prehistoric freshwater ray-finned fish that lived during the Middle Triassic epoch. It contains a single species, A. watsoni from the Karoo Supergroup of South Africa. A potential indeterminate species was known from the Timezgadiouine Formation of Morocco, but is now considered an indeterminate actinopterygian.
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.

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.
Aphelolepis is an extinct genus of prehistoric ginglymodian bony fish. It contains one species, A. delpi, that lived during the Ladinian age of the Middle Triassic epoch in what is now Franconia, Germany. It is generally considered a semionotiform.
Crenilepis is an extinct genus of prehistoric marine ray-finned fish that lived in the seas of present-day Europe during the Middle Triassic epoch. It contains a single species, C. sandbergi from the Anisian of Germany, Spain, and the Besano Formation of the Swiss-Italian border.
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.
Besania is an extinct genus of prehistoric marine ray-finned fish that lived during the Anisian and Ladinian ages of the Middle Triassic epoch in what is now southern/southeastern Switzerland and northern Italy. Fossils were recovered from the Besano Formation of Monte San Giorgio area and the Prosanto Formation of canton Graubünden, Switzerland.
