Eoluvarus

Eoluvarus ("dawn Luvarus") is an extinct genus of marine ray-finned fish from the Eocene of India.

[1] It contains a single species, E. bondei from the Ypresian-aged Fuller's Earth deposits in the Kapurdi Formation of the Barmer District, Rajasthan.

[2] As its name suggests, it was initially considered an early louvar.

Later, more comprehensive specimens were found from the same locality, and E. bondei was reappraised as being a relative of Exellia, an unusual genus of spadefish-like percomorph known from Italy and Turkmenistan, and thus also a member of the family Exelliidae.
