Diplurus

Diplurus est un genre fossile de poissons à membres charnus rattaché au sous-ordre des Latimerioidei (parfois à la famille des Mawsoniidae).

Les fossiles de Diplurus n'ont été découverts que dans le Trias supérieur (Norien et Rhétien) des États-Unis[2]. Ils sont datés d'environ −220 à −205 Ma (millions d'années).

Le genre Diplurus est rattaché soit directement au sous-ordre des Latimerioidei, soit à la famille des Mawsoniidae[3]. Le genre Diplurus est considéré comme le groupe frère de Libys.
