Phymolepis

Phymolepis is an extinct genus of yunnanolepidid placoderm from the Early Devonian of China. The type species, P. cuifengshanensis, was named by Zhang Goroui in 1978 and was re-evaluated in 2018, while a second species, P. guoruii, was named and described in 1996.

The holotype of P. cuifengshanensis is IVPP V4225.3, a nearly complete trunk shield, and it was found in the Xitun Formation, near Cuifengshan. The paratype is IVPP V4425.6, a posterior median dorsal plate, and several other specimens of varying completeness have also been referred to Phymolepis, with some specimens also being recovered from the Xishancun Formation.
