Aluvarus praeimperialis is an extinct

luvar, described as "Luvarus praeimperialis", as it was thought to be a predecessor to the modern luvar. A later reexamination of the specimens showed that they were too incomplete to demonstrate such a conclusion and had no clear exclusive shared traits with luvar, and were renamed "Aluvarus", meaning "not luvar" or "different than luvar".^[4] However, some authorities still retain it as a luvar.^[1]

The Pabdeh Formation was originally dated to the early Oligocene, but more recent analysis indicates it to be from the mid-late Eocene, most likely the Priabonian. It inhabited an open ocean habitat with a significant deepwater component to the fauna.[2]^[3]
