Fish assemblages are a major 17 component of marine foods webs. The macroevolution and biogeographic patterns of 18 late Permian fish are currently insufficiently known. In this contribution, the late Permian 19 fish fauna from Kūmas quarry (southern Latvia) is described for the first time. As a 20 result, the studied late Permian Latvian assemblage consisted of isolated 21 chondrichthyan teeth of Helodus sp., ?Acrodus sp., ?Omanoselache sp. and 22 euselachian type dermal denticles as well as many osteichthyan scales of the 23 Haplolepidae and Elonichthydae; numerous teeth of Palaeoniscus, rare teeth findings of 1 bioRxiv preprint doi: https://doi.org/10.1101/554998; this version posted February 20, 2019. -

Email: [email protected] urn:lsid:zoobank.org:author:55EA63EE-63FD-49E6-A216-A6D2BEB91B82 Abstract. The family-group names of animals (superfamily, family, subfamily, supertribe, tribe and subtribe) are regulated by the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature. Particularly, the family names are very important, because they are among the most widely used of all technical animal names. A uniform name and spelling are essential for the location of information. To facilitate this, a list of family- group names for fossil fishes has been compiled. I use the concept ‘Fishes’ in the usual sense, i.e., starting with the Agnatha up to the †Osteolepidiformes. All the family-group names proposed for fossil fishes found to date are listed, together with their author(s) and year of publication. The main goal of the list is to contribute to the usage of the correct family-group names for fossil fishes with a uniform spelling and to list the author(s) and date of those names. No valid family-group name description could be located for the following family-group names currently in usage: †Brindabellaspidae, †Diabolepididae, †Dorsetichthyidae, †Erichalcidae, †Holodipteridae, †Kentuckiidae, †Lepidaspididae, †Loganelliidae and †Pituriaspididae.

INTRODUCTION Character analysis in the palaeonisciforms The primary purpose of the present paper and other extinct lower actinopterygian is to attempt a cladistic analysis ofone group groups has lagged well behind that for the ofextinct lower actinopterygians that has long extinct neopterygians. The reasons for this been regarded as a "natural" one, namely, include the absence of close living relatives, the Redfieldiiformes. They are Triassic and the apparent paucity of useful characters in early Jurassic freshwater fishes (fig. 1) whose taxa that are frequently represented by com- remains have been found in continental sed- pressed and inadequately preserved dermal iments in Australia, South Africa, Zambia, skeletons, the fragmentary fossil record, and Morocco, eastern and western United States, the not inconsiderable problems of morpho- and questionably in Madagascar. The design logical interpretation. More or less three di- of the redfieldiiform skeleton has suggested mensional specimens that can be prepared affinity with several other extinct lower ac- chemically or by air abrasion may yield a tinopterygian groups, but there has been no great deal of information, but they represent consensus about relationship. -
The Teleost Ichthyofauna from the Late Cretaceous of Madagascar: Systematics, Distributions, and Implications for Gondwanan Biogoegraphy
THE TELEOST ICHTHYOFAUNA FROM THE LATE CRETACEOUS OF MADAGASCAR: SYSTEMATICS, DISTRIBUTIONS, AND IMPLICATIONS FOR GONDWANAN BIOGOEGRAPHY By Summer A. Ostrowski A DISSERTATION Submitted to Michigan State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Geological Sciences 2012 ABSTRACT THE TELEOST ICHTHYOFAUNA FROM THE LATE CRETACEOUS OF MADAGASCAR: SYSTEMATICS, DISTRIBTUTIONS, AND IMPLICATIONS FOR GONDWANAN BIOGEOGRAPHY By Summer A. Ostrowski Madagascar is known for its highly endemic Recent fauna. However, the full deep-time temporal context of Madagascar’s endemicity is not completely understood, due to the patchy fossil record of the island. The Upper Cretaceous deposits of the Maevarano Formation in northwestern Madagascar provide insight into this issue due to their rich vertebrate fauna, including dinosaurs, crocodylians, frogs, turtles, snakes, mammals, and fishes. The Maevarano Formation consists of fluvial and alluvial deposits and accompanying debris flows, and exhibits excellent fossil preservation. Fossil fishes from the formation represent coastal marine and freshwater taxa, some of which have been identified in earlier reports. This study focuses on identifying teleosts present within the Maevarano Formation, and the resulting implications for Gondwanan biogeography. The teleosts are first identified to the most precise taxonomic unit possible, and their distributions during the Late Cretaceous are analyzed. Several of the fish taxa present extend the known temporal and/or geographic -

FOSSIL FISHES IN THE COLLECTION OF THE UNITED STATES NATIONAL MUSEUM. By Charles R. Eastman. Of the American Museum, of Natural History, New York City. INTRODUCTION. The collection of fossil fishes belonging to the United States National Museum, although not extensive, is a representative series, comprismg characteristic species from aU of the main geological time divisions from the Ordovician onward, and including about 170 type- specimens and other important material which has served in the description of species or determination of geological horizons. The greater part of the material was obtained under the auspices of the United States geological surveys and exploring expeditions, and a large quantity of fish remams was added to the collection through the acquisition of a number of miportant private collections, like those of Lesquereux, Lacoe, Sherwood, and others. Some foreign material, from various horizons, but chiefly Mesozoic and Tertiary, was acquired at different times by exchange or purchase. Prior to the installation of the collection of fossil vertebrates m the new building of the United States National Museum the fishes had not been systematically studied, nor even fully accessible nor arranged, owing to lack of space accommodations; and until eight years ago no published list had been prepared of the important type-specimens it contains. In 1905, under the direction of Dr. George P. Merrill, a catalogue of the type specimens of fossil invertebrates, by Charles Schuchert and associates, was published by the museum, and two years later this was foUowed by a second part, includmg the type of specimens of fossil vertebrates and fossil plants. -

Previously identi¢ed as `Rhadinichthys'planti, the species is reassigned to the genus Mesopoma. Morphological characters derived from these data are combined with reviews of cranial skeletal anatomy, enamel composi- tion, oculomoter muscle insertion and paired ¢n morphology to test and reanalyse hypotheses of primitive actinopterygian interrelationships. Results indicate that ancestral chondrostean (sturgeon and paddle¢sh) and neopterygian (teleost, amiid and gar) lineages diverged earlier than current theories suggest. Palaeo- nisciformes, a taxonomic group widely used to include most Palaeozoic actinopterygians, include a signi¢cant number of primitive neopterygians, several of which may form a distinct monophyletic clade. -
