Eurynotoides is an extinct genus of prehistoric bony fish [1] in the family Eurynotoididae of the order Eurynotoidiformes. [2]

Taxonomy

The genus was erected by Berg in 1940. In 1974, Sergienko described a new genus and species Heterolepis multa from the Middle Permian (Kazanian) of Kemerovo Region, Russia, as a new member of the Palaeoniscidae family. Howerer, Heterolepis was already in use for the extant snake Heterolepis capensis (Smith, 1847), making Sergienko's naming a junior homonym. In 2023, A. S. Bakaev redescribed "Heterolepis" multa as a new species in the genus Eurynotoides, E. multa. This species is different from E. nanus and E. costatus by having ganoin peninsula-shaped structures on the anterior margin of the scale as well as by the presence of denticles on both posterior and lower edge of the scale.

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.

The type and only species, Mamulichthys ignotus, is known from a single specimen preserving the skull and anterior body portion, which was recovered from the uppermost part of the Amanak Formation. Holotype of M. ignotus is the first complete skeleton of discordichthyiform.
