Acrognathus (from Greek: άκρος ákros, 'high' and Greek: γνάθος gnáthos 'jaw')[1] is an extinct genus[2] of ray-finned fish belonging to the order Aulopiformes.[3] Although no extensive systematic analysis has been performed, it is tentatively placed with the greeneyes in the family Chlorophthalmidae, making it the oldest representative of that family.[4]
The following species are known:[3]
- A. boops Agassiz, 1836 (late Cenomanian/Coniacian to Turonian of the United Kingdom)[5]
- A. dodgei Hay, 1903 (late Cenomanian of Lebanon)
- A. libanicus Woodward, 1901 (late Cenomanian of Lebanon)
