Austrolepidotes
Extinct genus of fishes
Austrolepidotes is an extinct genus of prehistoric freshwater ray-finned fish from the Early Cretaceous. It contains a single species, A. cuyanus from the Lagarcito Formation of Argentina.
The holotype specimen has been lost, and its taxonomic status is considered doubtful. It is thus considered a nomen dubium.
