Endeiolepis is an extinctjawless fish that lived during the Late Devonianperiod, similar to that of extant lampreys for its gill pouches, but Endeiolepis had an unusually large number of gill pouches. Endeiolepis was also described as being quite similar to Euphanerops, the main difference being a long series of elongated scales forming a ventrolateral protuberance on each side of Endeiolepis’ body. Endeiolepis had a strongly heterocercal caudal fin.
