Abstract

A new species of the genus Amia of the family Amiidae, A. godai is described based on a parasphenoid and many isolated bones and scales found from the Early Miocene Nakamura Formation of the Mizunami Group along the Kiso River in Kani City, Gifu Prefecture, Central Japan. Amia godai sp. nov. is distinguished by having a V-shaped edentulous area in the posterior part of the tooth patch of the parasphenoid. This is the first record of the genus from the Early Miocene in the world and the first record of the family from the Cenozoic in Japan.
