Ferganoceratodus
Extinct genus of fishes
Ferganoceratodus genus of prehistoric lungfish known from the Mesozoic of Asia and Africa. Based on morphological evidence, it has either been recovered as a basal member of the Ceratodontiformes or to be the sister group of the Neoceratodontidae (containing the extant Australian lungfish ).[ 1] [ 2]

The following species are currently classified in the genus:[ 3] [ 4]
