Iranorhynchus is an extinct genus of prehistoric sarcopterygian or lobe-finned fish. [1]
Chrysolepis is a genus of prehistoric marine lobe-finned fish that lived during the Late Devonian period. It contains a single species, C. orlensis, known from the middle Famennian of Oryol Oblast, Russia. It is the only member of the family Chrysolepididae, erected due to its highly distinct morphology unseen among other osteolepiforms. It may be the sister taxon to the eusthenopterids.
Cryptolepis is an extinct genus of prehistoric marine lobe-finned fish known from the Late Devonian of what is now eastern Europe. It contains a single species, C. grossi from the middle to late Famennian of Oryol, Russia and Latvia. Scales of this species are particularly common in Devonian localities of Latvia. It was named after paleontologist Walter R. Gross.

Megapleuron is an extinct genus of prehistoric sarcopterygian or lobe-finned fish that lived during the Asselian age of the Cisuralian epoch in what is now Burgundy, France.
Rhipis is an extinct genus of prehistoric sarcopterygians or lobe-finned fish.
Rhinodipterus is an extinct genus of prehistoric dipnoan sarcopterygians or lobe-finned fish, that lived in the Devonian Period, between 416 and 359 million years ago. It is believed to have inhabited shallow, salt-water reefs, and is one of the earliest known examples of marine lungfish. Research based on an exceptionally well-preserved specimen from the Gogo Formation of Australia has shown that Rhinodipterus has cranial ribs attached to its braincase and was probably adapted for air-breathing to some degree as living lungfish are. This could be the only case known for a marine lungfish with air-breathing adaptations.
Pseudosauripterus is an extinct genus of prehistoric sarcopterygians or lobe-finned fish.
Phaneropleuron is an extinct genus of prehistoric sarcopterygians or lobe-finned fish.
Pentlandia is an extinct genus of prehistoric sarcopterygians or lobe-finned fish. Its first discovered species was initially named Dipterus macroptera by Ramsay Traquair in 1888, then renamed Pentlandia macroptera by D.M.S. Watson and H. Day in 1916.
Youngichthys is an extinct genus of prehistoric sarcopterygians or lobe-finned fish from the upper Permian (Changhsingian) comprising a single species, Youngichthys xinghuansis. The single specimen of the fish was discovered in Zhejiang Province, China in 1981.
Ventalepis is an extinct genus of prehistoric sarcopterygians or lobe-finned fish.

Scaumenacia is an extinct genus of lungfish. It lived around the Devonian in North America alongside another prehistoric lungfish: Fleurantia. It lived from approximately 384 to 376 millions of years ago.
