Introduction

In this paper we describe a new species of Lepidotes based on two specimens of heads from the Cenomanian Kem Kem beds of Morocco. These deposits were presumably laid down in fluviatile conditions and are dated as Cenomanian (Sereno et al. 1996). Specimens are fragmentary and usually very robust. Several taxa have been described from the same beds: Palaeonotopterus greenwoodi Forey, 1997, Calamopleurus africanus Forey and Grande, 1998, Oniichthys falipoui Cavin and Brito, 2001, cf. Mawsonia lavocati Tabaste,1963 (Cavin and Forey 2004), Cladocyclus pankowskii Forey and Cavin 2007, Concavotectum moroccensis Cavin and Forey, 2008, and Erfoudichthys rosae Pittet et al., 2009.
