Catutoichthys is an extinct genus of amiiform fish belonging to the family Caturidae. The only species that has been found to be within this genus is Catutoichthys olsacheri.[1]
It lived during the Late Jurassic period in the Vaca Muerta Formation, southwestern Gondwana in what is now Argentina. This makes Catutoichthys the earliest representative of the family Caturidae.[1]
