Thoracopteridae
Thoracopteridae is an extinct family of prehistoric bony fish; classified with the order Peltopleuriformes. This lineage of Triassic flying fish-like Perleidiformes converted their pectoral and pelvic fins into broad wings very similar to those of their modern counterparts. However, this group is not related to modern flying fish from the family Exocoetidae, instead being a case of convergent evolution.

Potanichthys
''Potanichthys'' is a fossil genus of flying or gliding fish found in deposits in China dating to the Ladinian age of the Middle Triassic epoch (237 to 228 million years ago). However, the fossil is not related to modern flying fish, which evolved independently about 66 million years ago. It is classified under the extinct family Thoracopteridae of the order Perleidiformes. It contains only one species, ''Potanichthys xingyiensis''. See also *''Thoracopterus ''Thoracopterus'' is an extinct genus of overwater gliding ray-finned fish.

Thoracopterus
''Thoracopterus'' is an extinct genus of overwater gliding ray-finned fish. It was common to the late Middle Triassic and Late Triassic epochs in what is now Europe and China. ''Thoracopterus'' had elongate pectoral fins, similar to modern Exocoetidae, which are used to glide overwater in order to escape aquatic predators. ''Thoracopterus'' represents the earliest known example for overwater gliding in actinopterygians. References * Fishes of the World ''Fishes of the World'' by the American ichthyologist Joseph S.
