Aulopopsis is an extinct genus of prehistoric marine ray-finned fish that lived during the lower Eocene.^[1] It is considered a relative of lizardfish in the order Aulopiformes, but its exact taxonomic placement is uncertain. Some authorities place it with the Aulopidae, while others place it with the Giganturoidae.^[2][3]
