Eoplectus
Eoplectus is an extinct genus of prehistoric marine tetraodontiform fish that lived during the Eocene. It contains a single species, E. bloti from the Early Eocene-aged Monte Bolca site of Italy. It is the only member of the family Eoplectidae. It closely resembled pufferfishes and porcupinefishes, which it was related to.
It displays some unique morphological traits among tetraodontiforms, that support it being a basal member of the Tetraodontoidei.
