A new aeduellid actinopterygian Amelangia ornata gen. et sp. nov. is described from the Lower Goldlauter Formation of the Thuringian Forest (Lower Permian, Germany). Distinguishing characters of the newly described taxon are a large dermosphenotic, an unusually large number of suborbital bones, a maxilla with a low maxillary plate, a distinct sculpture consisting of tubercles on the operculum and suboperculum, the presence of a single branchiostegal ray, and a pectoral fin with a scaly basal lobe. The preserved characters place the new genus close to the genera Aeduella and Bourbonnella. The newly described genus and species is similar to an isolated operculum and suboperculum recovered from the Lower Permian of the Krkonoše Piedmont Basin in the Bohemian Massif.
