Eoplectus is an extinct genus of prehistoric marine tetraodontiform fish that lived during the Eocene. It contains a single species, E. bloti from the Early Eocene-aged Monte Bolca site of Italy.[1] It is the only member of the family Eoplectidae.[2] It closely resembled pufferfishes and porcupinefishes, which it was related to.[3]
It displays some unique morphological traits among tetraodontiforms, that support it being a basal member of the Tetraodontoidei.[4][5][6]
