| Abstract | ORTHOGONIKLEITHRUS leichi n. gen. and n. sp. from the Late Jurassic of Zandt, W-Germany resembles Leptolepides in the supra- and infraorbital sensory canals and in the length of the anterior process of the maxilla, and Ascalabos in the massive aspect of the premaxilla. The caudal skeleton has some similarities with that of Leptolepides (e.g. the broadening of the neural and haemal spines of the last caudal vertebrae, length of uroneurals 1 and 2), but also with that of Anaethalion (in the neural arches above preural centrum 1 and ural centra). According to this combination of features, the fish remains as Elopocephala incertae sedis. |
