Chrysolepis is a genus of prehistoric marine lobe-finned fish that lived during the Late Devonian period.[1] It contains a single species, C. orlensis, known from the middle Famennian of Oryol Oblast, Russia.[2] It is the only member of the family Chrysolepididae, erected due to its highly distinct morphology unseen among other osteolepiforms. It may be the sister taxon to the eusthenopterids.[3]
