Kenichthys is a genus of sarcopterygian fish from the Devonian period, and a member of the clade tetrapodomorpha. The only known species of the genus is Kenichthys campbelli (named for the Australian palaeontologist Ken Campbell), the first remains of which were found in China in 1993. The genus is important to the study of the evolution of tetrapods due to the unique nature of its nostrils, which provide vital evidence regarding the evolutionary transition of fish-like nostrils to the tetrapod choanae.

  • Kenichthys es un género extinto de pez sarcopterigio que vivió durante el Devónico Inferior. Es el miembro más basal conocido de Tetrapodomorpha, el grupo que incluye a los tetrápodos, o vertebrados dotados de cuatro extremidades. Kenichthys tenía una primitiva , una abertura en el paladar que conecta la cavidad nasal y la boca, lo cual se volvió una importante adaptación para la vida terrestre en los tetrapodomorfos posteriores. Para que la migración de esta abertura no llegara a bloquear las arterias en el paladar, los vasos sanguíneos tuvieron que cambiar su posición durante esta evolución. El fósil holotipo incluye huesos bien preservados los cuales fueron hallados en China. (es)
