Type species: Hispanamia newbreyi sp. nov. by monotypy.

Generic diagnosis: Amiid fish differing from all other amiids by the following combination of derived and primitive characters: suborbital bones absent; jaw teeth labiolingually compressed, with sharply carinate caps; three lateral fossae on most of the vertebral centra; articular bone of the lower jaw formed by the fusion of an anterior and a posterior element; faint ornamentation on the dermal bones of the skull formed by small, irregularly disposed foramina and thin, shallow, parallel grooves; relatively short parietal (width-to-length ratio range well exceeding 0.90); ten or fewer ural centra; preopercular long and narrow, crescent-shaped; and posttemporal with lateral edge shorter than anterior edge.

Etymology: Hispania, ancient Latin name of Spain, and Amia (Aμια), ancient Greek name for a type of fish (probably the bonito), and name of the type genus of the family Amiidae .
