See text Berycopsis is an extinct genus of marine ray-finned fish from the Late Cretaceous period.

However, one 2009 study found it to be a more basal acanthomorph, and tentatively placed it as Beryciformes incertae sedis.

lindstromi Davis, 1890 from the Danian-aged Kobenhavn Limestone of Limhamns kalkbrott, Sweden, is based on a generically indeterminate partial skeleton, and thus its taxonomic affiliation is uncertain.

[8][9] The species Platycormus gibbosus von der Marck, 1885 may also belong to this genus, but the holotype has been lost and thus nothing about it is known.

[4] Berycopsis was about 35 centimetres (14 in) long and one of the earliest known members of the Acanthopterygii, the group that includes the present day barracuda, swordfish, seahorses, and flatfish.
