A member of the family Chlamydoselachidae. Originally described as a species of Chlamydoselachus; Cappetta, Morrison & Adnet (2019) transferred it to the genus Rolfodon.[27]
A carpet shark of uncertain phylogenetic placement. Originally described as a species of Ornatoscyllium, but subsequently transferred to the genus Similiteroscyllium.[37]
A catshark. The type species is Thiesus concavus from the Early Cretaceous (Valanginian) of France; genus might also contain a second, yet unnamed species from the Middle Jurassic (Bathonian) of the United Kingdom.
A member of Sciaenidae. The type species is Equetulus amazonensis; genus also contains E. davidandrewi (Nolf & Aguilera, 1998), "Pachypops" fitchi Schwarzhans (1993) and E. silverdalensis (Müller, 1999).[65]
A member of Sciaenidae. A new genus for "Larimus" henrici Nolf & Aguilera (1998); genus also contains new species Protolarimus mauryae,[49] as well as "Ophioscion" lundbergi Aguilera & Rodrigues de Aguilera (2004).[89]
A member of Sciaenidae. Originally described as a species of Sciaenops;[49] subsequently made the type species of a separate genus Amazonasciaena by Aguilera, Schwarzhans & Béarez (2016).[89]
