Eurynotoides

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

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.
