Porolepis is an extinct genus of porolepiform sarcopterygian fish,^[1] from the Early Devonian Dniester Series of Ukraine, which is rich in Porolepis remains, and also the Nellen Koepfchen Beds of Germany.^[2]^[3] It lived alongside the dubious lophotrochozoan Macrodontophion.^[4] It was first described in 1858^[5] but Porolepis was not named as a sufficient species until 1891.^[6]
