Gonorynchidae is a family of ray-finned fish in the order Gonorynchiformes, which has a number of fossil taxa and one extant genus, Gonorynchus, the beaked salmons. They are an ancient group, with fossils known from as far back as the Albian stage of the Early Cretaceous.[1]
The following genera are known:[1]
- †Charitopsis Gayet 1993
- †Charitosomus Hosius & Von Der Marck 1885
- †Gonorynchidarum Rana, 1988 [otolith]
- Gonorynchus Gronow 1763 - beaked salmons
- †Hakeliosomus Gayet 1993 (possibly synonymous with Ramallichthys)
- †Judeichthys Gayet 1985 (possibly synonymous with Ramallichthys)
- †Lecceichthys Taverne, 1998
- †Notogoneus Cope 1885 (=†Anormurus Blainville, 1818, †Protocatostomus Whitfield 1891)
- †Sapperichthys Amaral, Alvardo-Ortega & Brito, 2013[2]
- †Ramallichthys Gayet 1982
An indeterminate gonorynchid (previously classified in Charitosomus) is known from fossil remains from the late Albian or early-mid Cenomanian Kwango Group of the Democratic Republic of the Congo.[1]
