From HandWiki

Dussumieriidae is a family of clupeiform fishes popularly called the "round herrings". It is now recognized by FishBase as a family in its own right; it had been considered to be a subfamily of Clupeidae.[1] It contains two extant genera, and some potential fossil genera. Possibly the earliest record of the group is Nardoclupea from the Campanian of Italy.[2]

The following genera are known:

  • Dussumieria Valenciennes, 1847
  • Etrumeus Bleeker, 1853
  • Lepidoclupea Calzoni, Giusberti & Carnevale, 2026 (Early Eocene of Italy)[3]
  • Paretrumeus Daniltshenko, 1980 (Oligocene of North Caucasus, Russia)[2]
  • Trollichthys Marramà & Carnevale, 2014 (Early Eocene of Italy)[2]

Putative fossil genera include:[2]

  • Nardoclupea Taverne, 2002 (Late Cretaceous of Italy)[4]
  • †?Portoselvaggioclupea Taverne, 2007 (Late Cretaceous of Italy)[5]
  • †?Pseudoetringus David, 1946 (Late Eocene of California)[6]
