Berycopsis is an extinct genus of beardfish from the Cretaceous period. Fossils are known from England. It was about 35 centimetres (14 in) long and one of the first members of the Acanthopterygii, the group that includes the present day barracuda, swordfish, seahorses, and flatfish. Like its modern relatives, the first fin rays in the dorsal and anal fins were modified into defensive spines, and the pelvic fins were located close to the pectoral fins. Berycopsis was one of the earliest fish known to have these features, which are widespread today.

- Berycopsis es un género extinto de peces actinopterigios prehistóricos. Fue descrito por Agassiz en 1850. Vivió en Alemania, Reino Unido y el Líbano. Medía unos 35 centímetros (14 pulgadas) de largo y era uno de los primeros miembros de Acanthopterygii, el grupo que incluye a las actuales barracudas, peces espada, caballitos de mar y peces planos. Al igual que sus parientes modernos, los primeros radios de las aletas dorsal y anal se modificaron en espinas defensivas, y las aletas pélvicas se ubicaron cerca de las aletas pectorales. Berycopsis fue conocido por tener estas características que están muy extendidas en la actualidad. (es)
