Properca is an extinct genus of prehistoric marine perciform fish that lived in Europe throughout much of the Cenozoic, from the Paleocene to the Miocene epochs.[1][2]
It is often placed with the southern perches (family Percichthyidae), which are now present only in the Southern Hemisphere; however, this is based on an outdated treatment of the taxon.[3][4][5] Other recent studies have placed it in the Percidae.[5][6]
The following species are known:
- P. angusta (Agassiz, 1836) - Middle-Late Paleocene of France, mid-Miocene of Bulgaria
- P. prisca (Agassiz, 1834) - Late Eocene of the Czech Republic (syn: Bilinia uraschista Obrhelová, 1971)
The species Properca sabbai has been reclassified into the genus Repropca in the extinct family Repropcidae.[7] Further revision of the genus is likely necessary.[5]
