MP 64, BI 1, ML 85 (Figs 1 – 3, 9) ZooBank registration: urn: lsid: zoobank. org: act: 429 CBD 26 - 08 F 8 - 4207 - BB 19 - 13 F 4260 D 7 CFB.
diagnosis
Diagnosis Mesethmoid median portion very narrow (2,?> 0), state 1 in Notarius biffi, Notarius kessleri, and Notarius neogranatensis, and state 2 in Notarius cookei, Notarius grandicassis, and Notarius troschelii; bony bridge formed by lateral ethmoid and frontal cylindrical and thin (16, 0> 1); otolith longer than wide (73, 0> 1); subvertebral process long and narrow (79, 0> 1); transcapular process forming a right angle in relation to body axis 86 (0> 1), state 0 in Notarius cookei and Notarius grandicassis; exoccipital bony crest parallel to vertebral column and mesially folded (92, 1> 2), state 3 in Notarius. Ambiguous optimization: Frontal mesial laminar projection present (23, 1> 0); posterior cranial fontanel formed by frontals and parieto-supraoccipital (25, 1> 0); pterotic mesial border with parieto-supraoccipital longer than anterior border with sphenotic (36, 0> 1), reversed in Notarius; vomer lateral processes very narrow (53, 0> 1), reversed in Aspistor; otolith anteromesial process inconspicuous (72, 1> 0), homoplastic in Galeichthys; dorsal crest of urohyal projected anteriorly (156, 0> 1), reversed in Notarius rugispinis, Notarius planiceps, and Notarius phrygiatus; 14 or fewer ribs (213, 1> 0), reversed in Notarius; seventh vertebra free from ventral superficial ossification (214, 0> 1).
discussion
Remarks BI analyses and ML analyses did not recognize Aspistor as a valid genus as was reported by Marceniuk and Menezes (2007) and Marceniuk et al. (2012) on morphological evidence (see Notarius Remarks).
