† B. schaufelbergerae Herzog & Bürgin, 2005
Besania [1] that lived during the Anisian and Ladinian ages of the Middle Triassic epoch in what is now southern/southeastern Switzerland and northern Italy.[2] Fossils were recovered from the Besano Formation of Monte San Giorgio area (Swiss-Italian borderland)[3] and the Prosanto Formation of canton Graubünden, Switzerland.[4]
Initially considered a perleidiform or luganoiiform, it is now thought to be an indeterminate "halecostome" or basal neopterygian.[4] There are two known species, Besania micrognathus (type species) and B. schaufelbergerae . Both are quite small (31 mm (1.2 in)–44 mm (1.7 in) in standard length).
The genus is named after the Italian town of Besano, Lombardy, near Monte San Giorgio.
