Yinostius is an extinct genus of heterosteid placoderm known from remains discovered in China.
Description[]
This genus is known from Emsian-aged specimens from the Wuding region of Yunnan, China.[1] In overall anatomy, it is extremely similar to the European genera, though it differs from them in its slightly smaller size, the shape of its nuchal plate, and in various body proportions.
