Characters from fossils have been viewed as less informative or more subjective Keywords: than comparable information from extant taxa. However, fossils are often the continuous trait evolution, character state only known representatives of many higher taxa, including some of the earliest optimization, morphological diversification, forms, and have been important in determining character polarity and filling vertebrate taphonomy morphological gaps. Here we evaluate the influence of fossils on the interpretation of character evolution by comparing estimates of ancestral body Accepted for publication: 22 July 2008 size in fishes (non-tetrapod craniates) from two large and previously unpublished datasets; a palaeontological dataset representing all principal clades from throughout the Phanerozoic, and a macroecological dataset for all 515 families of living (Recent) fishes. Ancestral size was estimated from phylogenetically based (i.e. parsimony) optimization methods. Ancestral size estimates obtained from analysis of extant fish families are five to eight times larger than estimates using fossil members of the same higher taxa.

  • Anewlatepermianray-Finned(Actinopterygian)Fishfrom the Beaufort Group, South Africa
    Palaeont. afr., 38, 33-47 (2002) ANEWLATEPERMIANRAY-FINNED(ACTINOPTERYGIAN)FISHFROM THE BEAUFORT GROUP, SOUTH AFRICA by Patrick Bender Council for Geoscience, Private Bag X112, Pretoria, South Africa. e-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT A new genus and species of actinopterygian (ray-finned) fish, Kompasia delaharpei, is described from Late Permian (Tatarian) fluvio-lacustrine, siltstone dominated deposits within the lower Beaufort Group of South Africa. It is currently known from two localities on adjoining farms, Wilgerbosch and Ganora, both in the New Bethesda district of the Eastern Cape Karoo region. The fossils were recovered from an uncertain formation, possibly closely equivalent to the Balfour Formation, within the Dicynodon Assemblage Zone. Kompasia delaharpei differs from previously described early actinopterygians, including the recently described new lower Beaufort Group taxon Bethesdaichthys kitchingi, on the basis of a combination of skull and post cranial characters. The genus is characterised by: a uniquely shaped subrectangular posterior blade of the maxilla, a shortened dorsal limb of the preopercular, and a dermopterotic and dermosphenotic contacting the nasal; furthermore, the subopercular is equal to or longer than the opercular, the dorsal fin is situated in the posterior third of the body, slightly behind the position of the anal fin, and the anterior rnidflank scales exhibit a smooth dermal pattern or surface, with a number of faint ganoine ridges present parallel to the posterior and ventral scale margins. Kompasia appears to exhibit a relatively conservative morphology similar to that in the lower Beaufort Group taxon Bethesdaichthys kitchingi. As such, Kompasia is derived relative to stem-actinopterans such as Howqualepis, Mimia and Moythomasia, and also derived relative to earlier southern African Palaeozoic actinopterygians such as Mentzichthys jubbi and Namaichthys schroederi, but basal to stem-neopterygians such as Australosomus and Saurichthys.

  • A New Actinopterygian Fish Species from the Late Permian Beaufort Group, South Africa
    Palaeont. a.fr., 37, 25-40 (2001) A NEW ACTINOPTERYGIAN FISH SPECIES FROM THE LATE PERMIAN BEAUFORT GROUP, SOUTH AFRICA by Patrick Bender Council for Geoscience, Private Bag Xl12, Pretoria, South Africa. e-mail·bender@.?li:co.za ABSTRACT A new genus and species of actinopterygian (ray-finned) fish, Bethesdaichthys kitchingi, is described from the Tatarian, Late Permian, Lower Beaufort Group of South Africa. Bethesdaichthys is presently known from three localities, two in the New Bethesda and one in the Victoria West districts of the Karoo region respectively. The fossils were recovered from within the Abrahamskraal Formation Tapinocephalus Assemblage Zone at the Victoria West locality, and from an uncertain Formation possibly closely equivalent to the Balfour Formation, within the Dicynodon Assemblage Zone at the New Bethesda sites. Bethesdaichthys kitchingi is a fusiform fish, up to approximately 300mm in total length, with the skull displaying a moderately oblique suspensorium, and a maxilla with a large sub-rectangular postorbital blade. Furthermore there is a complex offour suborbital bones adjacent to the orbit. The pectoral fin is large relative to body size and the tail is heterocercal with an elongate tapered dorsal body lobe. The anterior midflank scales in particular exhibit a distinctive dermal ornamentation consisting of numerous ganoineridges. The phylogenetics and interrelationships of Bethesdaichthys kitchingiare examined. It appears to exhibit a relatively conservative morphology similar to that found in possibly related Carboniferous taxa such as the South African taxa Australichthysand Willomorichthys. Bethesdaichthys kitchingiis derived relative to stem-actinopterans such as the Howqualepis and Mimia, and also derived relative to southern African Palaeozoic actinoptyerygians such as Mentzichthys jubbl; and Namaichthys schroeden; but basal to stem­ neopterygians such as Australosomus, Perleldus and Saurichthys.

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.

The Middle–Upper Permian of the Gomaniibrik Formation, of the Tanin Group, in south-east Anatolia, close to the Iraq border, yielded moderately preserved fish remains. Two species, Palaeoniscum freieslebeni and Py- gopterus cf. nielseni, known so far only from the Upper Permian deposits of the Zechstein Basin in western Central Europe, were recognised.

ABSTRACT Th ree new palaeoniscoid fi shes (Osteichthyes, Actinopterygii), representing two new genera, Lineagruan judithi n. gen., n. sp., L. snowyi n. gen., n. sp., Beagias- cus pulcherrimus n. gen., n. sp., are described from the Bear Gulch Limestone Member of the Heath Formation (Serpukhovian) of Montana, a 318 million year old lagerstätte. Morphological, morphometric, and meristic data were ana- lyzed and compared to data for other Paleozoic actinopterygians. Diff erences among the species were noted in character complexes that may have played a role in feeding or propulsive regimes and fi ne-scale niche partitioning. A matrix of 111 characters and 40 taxa was constructed using relatively complete taxa ranging from the Devonian to the Recent. Cladistic analysis using Hennig86 KEY WORDS Bear Gulch Limestone, and Winclada resulted in two trees.

This late Middle Permian Anatolian record significantly widens the geo- graphical range of these actinopterygians into the equatorial Palaeotethys Realm.

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 fi shes 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 fi shes 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 fi shes 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.
