Eolates ("dawn Lates") is an extinct genus of prehistoric lates perch from the Paleogene of Europe.[1][2] It contains three species, two marine and one freshwater, known from the early-middle Eocene and Late Oligocene.[3]
The following species are known:[4][5][6]
- E. aquensis (Gaudant, 1977) - Late Oligocene of France (Aix-en-Provence Formation) (=Lates aquensis Gaudant, 1977)[3]
- E. gracilis (Agassiz, 1833) (type species) - Early Eocene of Italy (Monte Bolca) (=Lates gracilis Agassiz, 1833)
- E. macrurus (Agassiz, 1833) - Middle Eocene (Lutetian) of France (Lutetian limestone) (=Lates macrurus Agassiz, 1833)
The single late-surviving freshwater species, E. aquensis, may be distinct enough to belong to its own genus.[7]
