Coccolepis is an extinct genus of prehistoric ray-finned fish in the family Coccolepididae. [2] Originally including most species within the family, it is now restricted to two species from the Late Jurassic Solnhofen Limestone of Germany. [3] The holotype of C. bucklandi, designated and described by Louis Agassiz, was thought to be lost but was later rediscovered in Neuchâtel. [4]
Taxonomy
Coccolepis contains the following species, both from Germany:
- C. bucklandi Agassiz, 1843
- C. solnhofensis López-Arbarello and Ebert, 2021
Some species originally referred to Coccolepis were later reallocated to other genera:
- Coccolepis groeberi Bordas, 1943 → Condorlepis groeberi (Bordas, 1943) [5]
- Coccolepis andrewsi Woodward, 1891 → Morrolepis andrewsi (Woodward, 1891) [6]
- Coccolepis aniscowitchi Gorizdor-Kulczycka, 1926 → Morrolepis aniscowitchi (Gorizdor-Kulczycka, 1926) [6]
- Coccolepis macroptera Traquair, 1911 → Barbalepis macroptera (Traquair, 1911) [1]
The species “Coccolepis” australis Woodward, 1895 (Late Jurassic of the Talbragar fossil site, Australia) and "Coccolepis" liassica Woodward, 1890 ( Early Jurassic of the Jurassic Coast, United Kingdom) are still of uncertain phylogenetic placement. [3]
