Ferganoceratodus is a genus of prehistoric lungfish known from the Mesozoic of Asia and Africa. Based on morphological evidence, it has either been recovered as a basal member of the Ceratodontiformes or to be the sister group of the Neoceratodontidae (containing the extant Australian lungfish).[1][2]
