Oligocene (Rupelian) and Oligocene-lower Miocene (Egerian) fossiliferous deposits from Moravia (Czech Republic) provided several specimens of ophidiiform fishes that are described herein and assigned to three species-level taxa. The Rupelian taxa are known from three specimens each coming from a different locality (Nikolcice, Loucka, Mouchnice), and are recognized herein referred to as two separate species. One of these is of unknown position within Ophidiiformes („Brotula” longipinnata), and the other is assigned to the family Bythitidae (Propteridium profondae). The only available specimen collected from Egerian sediments of the Krumvir locality is assigned to a new brosmophycine bythitid genus and species, Kalabisia krumvirensis gen. & sp. nov. The Oligocene to early Miocene record of Ophidiiformes of the Paratethyan realm is also provided.
