Tharrhias is an extinct genus of prehistoric bony fish that lived during the Aptian stage of the Early Cretaceous epoch.[1] The type species T. araripis is named after the Araripe Basin, in which it was found in sediments of the Santana Formation.
Crab prezoea larvae have been found fossilised in the stomach contents of Tharrhias.[2]
