Biology:Africentrum

From HandWiki

Africentrum is an extinct genus of prehistoric soldierfish that lived during the Late Oligocene to Late Miocene of Europe. It contains a single species, A. melitense, known from the Upper Miocene subepoch of what is now Malta.[1][2][3] In addition, indeterminate fossil remains of this genus are known from the Late Oligocene of Poland.[4]

It has been either recovered as the sister genus to Myripristis or in a polytomy with all the other genera in the subfamily.[5][6]
