Neoproscinetes is a genus of extinct pycnodontid fish from the Cretaceous Santana Formation of Brazil. Fossils of this species have also been discovered in the Riachuelo Formation.^[1]

Phylogeny

Within Pycnodontidae, Neoproscinetes sits in the Proscinetinae subfamily, alongside Proscinetes, Thiollierepycnodus, Turboscinetes and Turbomesodon.^[2] Both Neoproscinetes and Proscinetes are highly derived genera of pycnodonts.^[3]
