Allolepidotus is an extinct genus of prehistoric marine neopterygian ray-finned fish from the Middle Triassic epoch of what is now Italy, Spain, and Switzerland. It was formerly referred to the halecomorph order Panxianichthyiformes, but is now thought to be a member of the Ionoscopiformes.[1][2][3]
