Latimerioidei is a suborder of coelacanths that contains both extant species of coelacanth in the genus Latimeria. It is defined as "the least inclusive clade containing Latimeria chalumnae and Mawsonia gigas".[1]
It is divided into two families: the extant Latimeriidae, an entirely marine group that survives to the present day with both Latimeria species (with a number of fossil genera also known) and the extinct Mawsoniidae, which inhabited both freshwater and marine habitats and went extinct during the Late Cretaceous (Maastrichtian).[2][3] This suborder contains the largest coelacanths known to have existed, including the latimeriid Megalocoelacanthus and the mawsoniid Mawsonia.[4] The earliest known member of the group is the Permian mawsoniid Changxingia, although divergence estimates instead predict an Early Triassic origin.[5][6]
The Latimerioidei may have evolved from the Whiteiidae, an extinct family of coelacanths known from a few Triassic-aged genera.[2]
