Colobodus is an extinct genus of Triassic bony fish of the family Colobodontidae and order Perleidiformes. Fossils have been found in Europe (France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Switzerland) and China.[1] It could reach body lengths of about 70 cm (2 ft 4 in).[2]
The original type species was Colobodus hogardi Agassiz, 1844, the fossils of which are probably destroyed, therefore the new type species C. bassanii was designated.[3]
