Paratrachinotus is an extinct genus of prehistoric bony fish that lived during the early to middle Eocene epoch, approximately 55.8 to 40.4 million years ago. It belongs to the order Perciformes, a diverse group that includes many modern bony fish species. This genus is considered monotypic, containing only one known species. Fossil evidence suggests that Paratrachinotus lived in marine environments during the Eocene, contributing to the rich aquatic ecosystems of the period.
