Hovasaurus is an extinct genus of basal diapsid reptile. It lived in what is now Madagascar during the Late Permian and Early Triassic, being a survivor of the Permian–Triassic extinction event and the paleontologically youngest member of the Tangasauridae. Fossils have been found in the Permian Lower and Triassic Middle Sakamena Formations of the Sakamena Group, where it is amongst the commonest fossils. Its morphology suggests an aquatic ecology.
Whiteia is an extinct genus of prehistoric coelacanth fish which lived during the Triassic period. It is named after Errol White.
Piveteauia is an extinct genus of prehistoric coelacanth fish which lived during the Lower Triassic period. The type specimen was discovered in the Middle Sakamena Group in northwestern Madagascar by French paleoichthyologist Jean-Pierre Lehman. The genus is named after Jean Piveteau.
Mahavisaurus is an extinct genus of rhytidosteid temnospondyl from the early Triassic period of Iraro, Madagascar. It is known from the holotype MNHN MAE 3037, a nearly complete skull, recovered from the Middle Sakamena Formation. This genus was named by J. P. Lehman in 1966, and the type species is Mahavisaurus dentatus.
Tertremoides is an extinct genus of trematosaurian temnospondyl within the family Trematosauridae from Madagascar. It was first named by Lehman, J-P. in 1966 as Trematosaurus madagascariensis but renamed to Tertremoides ambilobensis by Lehman in 1979. Its closest relative was Trematolestes.
Stensionotus is an extinct genus of prehistoric bony fish that lived during the Early Triassic epoch in what is now Madagascar and China. It belongs to Parasemionotidae together with Albertonia, Candelarialepis, Jacobulus, Lehmanotus, Parasemionotus, Qingshania, Suius, Thomasinotus and Watsonulus. It is named after Erik Stensiö.
Watsonulus is an extinct genus of prehistoric ray-finned fish that lived during the Early Triassic epoch in what is now Madagascar. It may have also existed in what is now Himachal Pradesh, India, during the Induan age. The type species, described by Jean Piveteau, is Watsonia eugnathoides. Because "Watsonia" was preoccupied, the new genus name Watsonulus was later erected. The genus is named after David Meredith Seares Watson.
Lehmanotus is an extinct genus of prehistoric bony fish that lived during the Early Triassic epoch in what is now Madagascar. It belongs to Parasemionotidae together with Albertonia, Candelarialepis, Jacobulus, Parasemionotus, Qingshania, Stensioenotus, Suius, Thomasinotus and Watsonulus. It is named after Jean-Pierre Lehman.
Jacobulus is an extinct genus of prehistoric ray-finned fish that lived during the Early Triassic epoch in what is now northern Madagascar 252.3 to 251.3 million years ago. The type species is Jacobulus novus (monotypy). It was a small fish less than 10 centimetres (3.9 in) in length. J. novus ecology was a grazer-detritivore. It belongs to the Parasemionotidae together with Albertonia, Candelarialepis, Icarealcyon, Lehmanotus, Parasemionotus, Qingshania, Stensioenotus, Suius, Thomasinotus, and Watsonulus.
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.
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.
Sakamenichthys is an extinct genus of prehistoric bony fish that lived during the Early Triassic epoch in what is now Madagascar. Fossils were recovered from beds of the Middle Sakamena Formation of the Beroroha basin in the southern part of the island.
Ecrinesomus is an extinct genus of prehistoric bobasatraniiform ray-finned fish that lived during the Induan age of the Early Triassic epoch in what is now Madagascar.
Parasemionotus is an extinct genus of prehistoric bony fish that lived in the Induan age of the Early Triassic epoch in what is now Madagascar. It is the name giving genus of the family Parasemionotidae and the order Parasemionotiformes.
Thomasinotus is an extinct genus of small prehistoric ray-finned fish that lived in the Induan age of the Early Triassic epoch in what is now Madagascar. It belongs to the early neopterygian family Parasemionotidae together with Albertonia, Candelarialepis, Icarealcyon, Jacobulus, Lehmanotus, Parasemionotus, Qingshania, Stensioenotus, Suius, and Watsonulus.
Paraceratodus is an extinct genus of prehistoric lungfish. Only one species, P. germaini, is known from the latest Permian or earliest Triassic period of Madagascar. Phylogenetic evidence supports it being the most basal member of the suborder Ceratodontoidei, which contains modern lungfish, and as with the rest of the order it likely diverged during the late Carboniferous.
Bobasatrania is an extinct genus of prehistoric bony fish that survived the Permian-Triassic extinction event. Fossils of Bobasatrania were found in beds of Changhsingian to Ladinian age. It was most speciose during the Early Triassic.
Boreosomus is an extinct genus of Triassic ray-finned fish. It was first described from the Arctic island of Spitsbergen, but was later also discovered in other parts of the world. The type species is Boreosomus arcticus.
Pristisomus is an extinct genus of prehistoric bony fish that lived during the Anisian age in what is now New South Wales, Australia. Fossils are derived from the Sydney sandstone.
Parasemionotiformes is an extinct order of neopterygian ray-finned fish that existed globally during the Triassic period. It comprises the families Parasemionotidae and Promecosominidae. Many of the included genera are monotypic and most species lived during the Early Triassic epoch.
