Coccolepis is an extinct genus of prehistoric ray-finned fish that lived during the Mesozoic Era in what is now Asia, Australia, and Europe. The type species is Coccolepis bucklandi. The holotype of C. bucklandi, designated and described by Louis Agassiz, was thought to be lost but was later rediscovered in Neuchâtel.[3]
Some species originally referred to Coccolepis were later reallocated to other genera:
Coccolepis groeberi Bordas, 1943 → Condorlepis groeberi (Bordas, 1943)[4]
Coccolepis andrewsi Woodward, 1891 → Morrolepis andrewsi (Woodward, 1891)[5]
Coccolepis aniscowitchi Gorizdor-Kulczycka, 1926 → Morrolepis aniscowitchi (Gorizdor-Kulczycka, 1926)[5]
Coccolepis macroptera Traquair, 1911 → Barbalepis macroptera (Traquair, 1911)[2]
