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 (, Volčji Grad, Komen, Slovenia) (type species)
- Aipichthys minor (Pictet, 1850) (Hakel and Hjoula, Lebanon)
- Aipichthys nuchalis (Dixon, 1850) (Upper Cenomanian , Washington, Sussex, UK)
- Aipichthys oblongus Gayet, 1980 (Hakel and Hjoula, Lebanon)
- Aipichthys velifer Woodward, 1901 (Hakel and Hjoula, Lebanon)
