Austrolepidotes Temporal range: Albian PreꞒ Ꞓ O S D C P T J K Pg N Scientific classification Kingdom: Animalia Phylum: Chordata Class: Actinopterygii Clade: Ginglymodi Order: †Semionotiformes Family: †Semionotidae Genus: †Austrolepidotes Bocchino, 1974 Species: †A. cuyanus Binomial name †Austrolepidotes cuyanus Bocchino, 1974 Synonyms Austrolepidotus

***Austrolepidotes*** is an extinct genus of prehistoric freshwater [ray-finned fish](/source/Ray-finned_fish) from the [Early Cretaceous](/source/Early_Cretaceous). It contains a single species, ***A. cuyanus*** from the [Lagarcito Formation](/source/Lagarcito_Formation) of [Argentina](/source/Argentina).[1][2][3]

The holotype specimen has been lost, and its taxonomic status is considered doubtful. It is thus considered a *[nomen dubium](/source/Nomen_dubium)*.[4]
