Dictyopyge is an extinct genus of prehistoric freshwater bony fish. Two species are recognized, D. macrurus and D. meekeri, which both lived during the Carnian age (Late Triassic) in what is now Virginia, United States.[1][3]
Several possibly unrelated species from the Triassic of Europe are provisionally referred to Dictyopyge ("D." rhenana, "D." socialis, "D." catoptera, "D." superstes), while three species from the Middle Triassic of Australia previously referred to Dictyopyge have been tentatively reallocated to the genus Brookvalia.[4]
