R e m a r k s: Fritsch (1895) described a small fish under the species name Acentrophorus dispersus from the Carboniferous of the Kladno and Rakovník Basins. The study of the holotype and other material showed that this fish belonged to the family Aeduellidae , and the new genus was erected for it. Beside the holotype, five additional specimens with jaws and scales are preserved, and numerous isolated scales are known from the Stephanian of the Kladno and Rakovník Basins and from the Stephanian of the Krkonoše Piedmont Basin ( Štamberg and Zajíc 2008).
