Abstract
A new genus and species of porgies (Perciformes, Sparidae), Pshekharus yesinorum gen. et sp. nov., from the Lower Sarmatian locality of bony fishes on the Pshekha River (northern Caucasus) is described. The dentition of the new taxon distinctly differs from that of the majority of 11 sparid genera known from the modern Mediterranean. Pshekharus gen. nov. is tentatively considered to be related to the subfamily Pagellinae.
