Alleiolepis is an extinct genus of prehistoric bony fish, which lived during the Ladinian age of the Middle Triassic epoch in what is now Franconia, Germany.[2][1][3] It was first named Leiolepis, but because this genus name is preoccupied by an extant lizard, the genus name of the Triassic fish was changed to Aleiolepis.
