Biology:Vinciguerria

From HandWiki

Vinciguerria is a genus of lightfishes, family Phosichthyidae.[1][2] It is named for Dr. Decio Vinciguerra (1856–1934), an Italian ichthyologist.[3]

Included species

There are currently five extant species recognized in this genus:[2]

There are also at least five prehistoric species only known from fossils:[4][5]

  • Vinciguerria distincta Daniltshenko, 1962 (=Sytchevskia) (middle Eocene of Georgia)
  • Vinciguerria merklini (Daniltshenko, 1946) (early Oligocene of eastern Europe)
  • Vinciguerria obscura Daniltshenko, 1946 (=Eovinciguerria) (Miocene of eastern Europe)
  • Vinciguerria orientalis Nam, Ko & Nazarkin, 2019 (middle Miocene of South Korea)
  • Vinciguerria shinjiensis Yabumoto, Nomura & Nazarkin, 2024 (middle Miocene of Japan)[6]

The former fossil genera Eovinciguerria and Sytchevskia have been synonymized with this genus due to their close morphological similarities to it.[5][7]
