A new arthrodire genus and species,Wildungenichthys grossi, is described from the Frasnian Kellwasserkalk of Bad Wildungen (W-Germany) from an incomplete skull with parts of the mandible and shoulder girdle. The new taxon is unique in a number of features, including the loss or probable fusion of the postmarginal, strong reduction of infraorbital sensory line canal on suborbital, firm connection of the cheek and skull roof and an unusual configuration of the cheek bones. It is an advanced pachyosteomorph eubrachythoracan and is referred to the Selenosteidae, showing close resemblances toEnseosteus.
