Mioceratodus is an extinct genus of lungfish in the family Neoceratodontidae, which also contains the extant Queensland lungfish.[1] It is known only from Oligocene and Miocene-aged sediments in Australia, although phylogenetic evidence supports it having first diverged from its closest relative, Neoceratodus, during the Late Jurassic or Early Cretaceous period.[2][3]

4 species are known from this genus:[4]

  • †Mioceratodus anemosyrus
  • †Mioceratodus diaphorus
  • †Mioceratodus gregoryi
  • †Mioceratodus poastrus
