| Mene rhombea Volta, 1796 |
Mene rhombea was a perciform fish found in the Tethys Ocean during the Eocene (Lutetian). As suggested by their fossils' small, upturned mouths, and by comparison of its living relative, M. maculata, M. rhombea was a planktivore. Their fossils from the laggerstat Monte Bolca are greatly valued.
