There was an extinct species of Opah called Turkmenidae, from central Asia.  They were a little bit smaller though.
What do you know about Opahs?
to a circumglobal distribution in the Southern Ocean, with the 34°S as its northern limit. Two additional species, one in the genus "Lampris" and the other in the monotypic "Megalampris", are only known from fossil remains. The extinct family, Turkmenidae, from the Paleogene of Central Asia, is closely related, though much smaller.
Opah specimens are rarely caught by recreational anglers. They are prized trophies for deep-water anglers as their large size and attractive form lend themselves well to taxidermy.
Nardovelifer", date from the late Campanian epoch and are already clearly assignable to the present order. The basal lampriforms were bathysomes, while the taeniosome body shape is apomorphic and seems to have evolved only once. The order underwent its main radiation in the Paleocene period; the opah-like Turkmenidae were a family of lampriforms thriving at that time, but going extinct around the start of the Neogene, about 23 Mya. Other fossil Lampridiformes are "Bajaichthys", "Palaeocentrotus", and "Veronavelifer".
