Cyttoides is an extinct genus of prehistoric marine ray-finned fish that lived during the early Oligocene epoch in the western Paratethys Sea over Europe. It contains a single species, C. glaronensis from the Matt Formation of Canton Glarus, Switzerland. It was a zeiform related to the extant genus Cyttus.[1][2][3][4][5]
The modern king dory (Cyttus traversi) was briefly classified into the genus Cyttoides, but was reclassified back when that genus was found to be preoccupied by C. glaronensis.[6]
