Beaumontoperca is an extinct genus of freshwater or estuarine temperate bass known from Late Oligocene. It contains a single species, B. beaumonti, from the Niveau du gypse d'Aix Formation of Aix-en-Provence, France.[1][2][3]
Initially described by Louis Agassiz as Perca beaumonti, it was moved into its own genus, Beaumontoperca, in 2000 following further studies. It is considered to likely be a member of the Moronidae due to the morphology of its saccular otolith.[3][4]
