Neoproscinetes is a genus of extinct pycnodontid fish from the Cretaceous Santana Formation of Brazil. Fossils of this species have also been discovered in the Riachuelo Formation.[1]
Phylogeny[edit]
Within Pycnodontidae, Neoproscinetes sits in the Proscinetinae subfamily, alongside Proscinetes, Thiollierepycnodus, Turboscinetes and Turbomesodon.[2] Both Neoproscinetes and Proscinetes are highly derived genera of pycnodonts.[3]
