Name

†Catutoichthys olsacheri Gouiric-Cavalli, 2016

• Holotype: MOZ-Pv 3645, a slab with a partially preserved fish. The specimen is incomplete and lacks most of the head bones but preserves some disarticulated and associated bones of the opercular series (these bones have been subject to minor dispersion); it also lacks the abdominal region.

Etymology: The specific name olsacheri refers to the Dr. Prof. Juan A. Olsacher Museum in which the specimen is deposited.
