Bregmacerina

Bregmacerina is an extinct genus of prehistoric marine ray-finned fish, most likely a codlet, that lived during the early part of the Miocene epoch.

[2][1][3] It contains a single species, B. antiqua, from the Burdigalian Sakaraul Horizon Formation of North Caucasus, Russia.

[4] Bregmacerina inhabited the Paratethys Sea.

There is some dispute as to whether it is a codlet, as while it shares traits with Bregmaceros in the reduction of the first dorsal fin, it differs in having undivided second dorsal and anal fins.
