Parexocoetus is a genus of flying fishes. They are found in the tropical and subtropical western Atlantic and Indo-Pacific Oceans. It is the only genus in the subfamily Parexocoetinae which is unique among the flying fishes in having a jaw which is very protrusible and having a joint situated between the cranium and the shoulder girdle which allows the head to be more maneuverable than in other lineages of this family.[2]
