Biology:Ctenopomichthys
Ctenopomichthys[1] is an extinct genus of marine scorpaeniform fish that inhabited the Paratethys Sea during the Miocene. It contains a single species, C. jemelka from the middle Miocene-aged Leitha Limestone of Saint Margarethen, Austria[2][3] (sometimes given as Sopron, Hungary).[4]
It was initially named without description in 1849 by Johann Jakob Heckel as Pygaeus jemelka, before being officially described as Ctenopoma jemelka in 1856.[3][5] However, Ctenopoma was found to be preoccupied by an unrelated genus of freshwater fish (Ctenopoma), and the species was thus reclassfied into two different genera (Ctenopomichthys Whitley, 1940 and Jemelkia White & Moy-Thomas, 1940), with Ctenopomichthys being published just a month before Jemelkia.[4][6][7]
It was formerly placed in the Scorpaenidae,[8] but later studies have found it to lack distinguishing features of this family.[4]
