Dussumieriidae is a family of clupeiform fishes popularly called the "round herrings". It is now recognized by FishBase as a family in its own right; it had been considered to be a subfamily of Clupeidae.[1] It contains two extant genera, and some potential fossil genera. Possibly the earliest record of the group is Nardoclupea from the Campanian of Italy.[2]
The following genera are known:
- Dussumieria Valenciennes, 1847
- Etrumeus Bleeker, 1853
- †Paretrumeus Daniltshenko, 1980 (Oligocene of North Caucasus, Russia)[2]
- †Trollichthys Marramà & Carnevale, 2014 (Early Eocene of Italy)[2]
Putative fossil genera include:[2]
- †Nardoclupea Taverne, 2002 (Late Cretaceous of Italy)[3]
- †?Portoselvaggioclupea Taverne, 2007 (Late Cretaceous of Italy)[4]
- †?Pseudoetringus David, 1946 (Late Eocene of California)[5]
