Four genera of fossil siganid fishes of early Eocene to early Oligocene age are recognized in addition to the single Recent genus. The osteological features of these five genera are described and illustrated. A phylogenetic analysis utilizing PAUP indicates that the genera have the following phyletic sequence convention: Ruffoichthys Sorbini (two species from the middle Eocene of Italy)--Eosiganus, new genus (one new species from the middle Eocene of Russia)--Siganopygaeus Danilchenko (one species from the early Eocene of Turkmenistan)--Protosiganus Whitley (one species from the early Oligocene of Switzerland)--Siganus Forsskål (27 Recent species in the Indo-Pacific).
