Biology:Aphanepygus

From HandWiki

Aphanepygus is an extinct genus of prehistoric marine holostean ray-finned fish that lived during the upper Cenomanian. It inhabited the former Tethys Ocean, with remains known from Lebanon and Croatia.[1][2] Its exact affinities are uncertain, although it is usually recovered as a relative of the macrosemiids.[3][4][5] However, other authorities recover it in the Ionoscopiformes.[6]

The following species are known:[2]

  • A. dorsalis Davis, 1887 (Cenomanian of Lebanon)
  • A. elegans Bassani, 1879 (Cenomanian of Croatia)
