A fish of the Pterygolepididae family of the Birkeniformes order of the Gnathopod subclass of the Cephalocerephagidae. It has also been given the genus name Pterolepis . It has been discovered in early Devonian strata of the Paleozoic Era. It has 10 gill slits lined up on the sides of the head. The scales in front of the gill slits are small, but the scales on the sides of the body are thin and strip-like, with two rows on the back that run diagonally forward from the dorsal edge, and three rows of scales below that that run diagonally backward. Scales with raised edges are lined up along the midline of the dorsal side of the body.
