Material. One specimen, PIMUZ A/I 4994, Pebas Fm., middle Miocene, Iquitos (layer I), Peru .

Discussion. A single large otolith of about 8.5 mm in length certainly represents some kind of perciform, probably percoid otolith that is too poorly preserved for any further identification. It is remarkable for a much widened ostium resembling those of sciaenid otoliths but differs in the completely straight cauda.
