Aipichthys is an extinct genus of bony fish that is possibly polyphyletic.[2].

Species

Five species have traditionally placed within Aipichthys, but a redescritption of the type species in 2016 suggested the genus to be polyphyletic, with only the type species as a member of the genus. The other four species were not moved out of the genus by the authors and were referred as `Aipichthys`.

Aipichthys pretiosus Steindachner, 1860 (Komen Limestone, Volčji Grad, Komen, Slovenia) (type species)
Aipichthys minor (Pictet, 1850) (Hakel and Hjoula, Lebanon)
Aipichthys nuchalis (Dixon, 1850) (Upper Cenomanian English Chalk, Washington, Sussex, UK)
Aipichthys oblongus Gayet, 1980 (Hakel and Hjoula, Lebanon)
Aipichthys velifer Woodward, 1901 (Hakel and Hjoula, Lebanon)

gollark: I mean, discord needs *a* backend, though I think it uses Erlang or Elixir.

gollark: <@288438602298556416> Are you serious about that? It... does not work that way.

gollark: What?

gollark: As I *said*, opinions can sort of be wrong, in a bit of a weird way.

gollark: PHP was a good option versus the other random junk around at the time it was made. Now it is not a great option, though PHP 7 fixes some badness.
