Dialipina is an extinct genus of prehistoric marine bony fish from the Early Devonian. [1] [2] It contains two species, both known from the high Arctic of Asia and North America. It was initially thought to be and sometimes still is treated as an early, basal actinopterygian, [3] [4] [5] but recent phylogenetic analyses suggest that it may instead be a stem-osteichthyan.

The following species are known: [1]
The early Devonian stem-gnathostome Janusiscus was described from remains from the Siberian mainland that were previously attributed to D. markae. [7]
