Abstract: The fossil fish described here was collected from Zichang County, Northern Shaanxi, and is referred to a new genus and species, Wayaobulepis zichangensis, of the Palaeoniscidae. Wayaobulepis resembles Myriolepis in many respects, but is characterised by its obtusely acute snout, few fin-rays of the dorsal fin, numerous oblique ridges covered with enameloid on scales, and strong dorsal ridge-scales. By nature of Wayaobulepis and stratigraphic sequence, the age of the fish-bearing beds should be Late Triassic.
