Eomyctophum ("dawn Myctophum ") is an extinct genus of lanternfish that inhabited the Paratethys Sea during the Oligocene.[1] It is the only member of the extinct subfamily Eomyctophinae, although Eokrefftia may also belong in it.[2] Its remains are known from throughout eastern Europe & western Asia in both the Caucasus and Carpathians, and comprise both articulated skeletons and otoliths, suggesting it was a particularly common fish.[3] [4]
The following species are known:[3]
- †E. cozlae Ciobanu, 1977 - Early Oligocene of Romania
- †E. koraensis Daniltshenko, 1947 (type species) - Early Oligocene of the North Caucasus, Russia (including Pshekha Formation), Abkhazia, Azerbaijan, and Ukraine (Menilitic Formation) (=E. menneri Daniltshenko, 1967)[4]
- †E. polysarcum (Gorjanovic-Kramberger, 1880) - Early Oligocene of the Czech Republic
The former species E. gracilis and E. limicolus are now placed in the blackchin Beckerophotus and the lanternfish Oligophus respectively.[3]
