Biology:Notopterus
From HandWiki
Notopterus is a genus of fishes in family Notopteridae found in South Asia:Pakistan, India, Nepal and Bangladesh (N. synurus) and Southeast Asia: Myanmar, Indonesia, Malaysia, Laos, Thailand, Cambodia and Vietnam (N. notopterus).[1]
The genus was formerly monotypic, featuring only the tautonymous type species. However, genetic evidence recommended that the genus be split in 2020.[2] In addition, the fossil species †Notopterus primaevus Günther, 1876 is known from an complete skeleton described from the Eocene-aged Sangkarewang Formation of Sumatra, Indonesia.[3][4]
