Coccolepis is an extinct genus of prehistoric ray-finned fish in the family Coccolepididae. Originally including most species within the family, it is now restricted to two species from the Late Jurassic Solnhofen Limestone of Germany.[2] 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)[1]
