Pholidophorus (from Greek: φολῐ́ςpholis, 'horny scale' and Greek: φέρωphérō, 'to bear')[1] is an extinct genus of stem-teleost fish. Numerous species were assigned to this genus in the past, but only the type species Pholidophorus latiusculus, from the Late Triassic of Europe, is considered to be a valid member of the genus today.[2][3]
