Ateleopus is a genusofray-finned fish in the jellynosefamilyAteleopodidae. It is the type genus of its family, and the orderAteleopodiformes. For some time, it was known as Podateles, because Ateleopus had been used to replace the frog genus name Atelopus, which was deemed to be a spelling error. This was mistaken, however, and the fish and frog genera reverted to their original names.
