Aphnelepis

Aphnelepis is an extinct genus of prehistoric freshwater ray-finned fish that lived during the Late Jurassic epoch.   It contains a single species, A. australis, from the Talbragar River beds of New South Wales, Australia.

Initially described as a "semionotiform", it is now generally recovered as a basal teleostean related to the sympatric Archaeomaene. Some studies classify it in its own family, Aphnelepidae, which is sister to Aetheolepis, with both families together being sister to Archaeomaenidae. However, Aphnelepidae is considered synonymous with Archaeomaenidae by other authorities.
