Eosemionotus

Eosemionotus ("dawn Semionotus") is an extinct genus of prehistoric marine macrosemiid ray-finned fish from the Middle Triassic (Anisian to Ladinian). It was a speciose genus known from throughout Europe, including formations of the Muschelkalk.

The following species are known:

In addition, indeterminate remains of Eosemionotus are known from Spain, Slovenia, and China.

The Tethys Ocean appears to have been the center of diversification for the genus. The species E. vogeli appears to descend from a population that dispersed from the Tethys into the Germanic Basin prior to the late Anisian.
