Description:The osteology of over 160 species of fossil and Recent plectognath or tetradontiform fishes is described and illustrated in relation to the supposed phylogeny and proposed higher classification (subfamilial to ordinal levels) of this group of approximately 320 Recent species of primarily tropical and temperate forms of the Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian oceans. The history of the classification and of the previous work on the osteology of the order is reviewed, while one new species (Acanthopleurus collettei, Oligocene of Canton Glarus, Switzerland) and one new genus (Eotetraodon, Eocene of Monte Bolca, Italy) are described. Comparative inclusive and exclusive definition are given for all higher categories based on both external and internal anatomical features. The Order Plectognathi (Tetraodontiformes) is divided into two suborders, the Sclerodermi or Balistoidei and the Gymnodontes or Tetraodontoidei, with a variety of other infraordinal and superfamilial categories, and 10 families, with subfamilial groupings in 4 of the latter.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
