Haplolepis is an extinct genus of freshwater ray-finned fish that lived during the Pennsylvanian stage of the Carboniferous.[1] It contains a single definite species, H. corrugata from the Moscovian-aged Allegheny Group of Ohio, US.[2] Well-preserved specimens are known from the lagerstätte of the Upper Freeport Coal, and were first described by John Strong Newberry in the 1800s. A number of co-occurring species placed in Haplolepis have now been placed into other haplolepid genera.[3][4] Another species, ?H. attheyi Westoll, 1944 from the Moscovian of Scotland is of uncertain taxonomy, and the specimen is now lost, although it may potentially belong to Protohaplolepis.[5][6]
