Biology:Aphnelepis

From HandWiki

Aphnelepis is an extinct genus of prehistoric freshwater ray-finned fish that lived during the Late Jurassic epoch.[1][2][3] It contains a single species, A. australis, from the Talbragar River beds of New South Wales, Australia.[4][5]

Initially described as a "semionotiform", it is now generally recovered as a basal teleostean related to the sympatric Archaeomaene. Some studies classify it in its own family, Aphnelepidae, which is sister to Aetheolepis, with both families together being sister to Archaeomaenidae.[2][4][6] However, Aphnelepidae is considered synonymous with Archaeomaenidae by other authorities.[7]
