Aulopopsis is an extinct genus of prehistoric marine ray-finned fish that lived during the lower Eocene.[1] It is considered a relative of lizardfish in the order Aulopiformes, but its exact taxonomic placement is uncertain. Some authorities place it with the Aulopidae, while others place it with the Giganturoidae.[2][3]
It contains two species, both from the London Clay of the United Kingdom:[2][4]
