Analectis pala is an extinct lamprid of the family Turkmenidae, of which it was the last surviving member. Its fossils are found from Early Oligocene strata from what is now Georgia. Analectis, as with the other members of Turkmenidae, was a close relative of the opahs. An indeterminate lamprid with potential affinities to it is known from the early Eocene of Denmark.[1][2][3]
