Aipichthys is an extinct genus of bony fish that is possibly polyphyletic.[2]

Species

Five species have traditionally placed within Aipichthys, but a redescription of the type species in 2016 suggested the genus to be polyphyletic, with only the type species as a member of the genus. The other four species were not moved out of the genus by the authors and were referred as `Aipichthys`.

  • Aipichthys pretiosus Steindachner, 1860 (Komen Limestone, Volčji Grad, Komen, Slovenia) (type species)
  • Aipichthys minor (Pictet, 1850) (Hakel and Hjoula, Lebanon)
  • Aipichthys nuchalis (Dixon, 1850) (Upper Cenomanian English Chalk, Washington, Sussex, UK)
  • Aipichthys oblongus Gayet, 1980 (Hakel and Hjoula, Lebanon)
  • Aipichthys velifer Woodward, 1901 (Hakel and Hjoula, Lebanon)
