Characters: 1. Cirrhitid-type urohyal (i.e. of a basal percoid type, but one differing from the latrid condition); 2. Latrid-type urohyal (i.e. of 

 basal percoid type; see 1); *3. Aplodactylid-type urohyal; *4. Chironemid-type urohyal; *5. Cheilodactylid-type urohyal; 6. Less than 28 

 vertebrae; *7. More than 28 vertebrae; 8. Parapophyses not developed on the first three (sometimes 4) abdominal vertebrae, but sessile 

 pleural ribs on one or two of these centra; *9. Parapophyses developed on the first three abdominal vertebrae. No sessile pleural ribs; 1st 

 pleural rib articulating with the parapophyses of the third abdominal vertebrae; 10. Three predorsal bones; *11. Two predorsal bones; 12. 

 Basal percoid-type of sternohyoid muscle; *13. Derived condition of the sternohyoid muscle; 14. Suborbital shelf present; *15. Suborbital 

 shelf absent. Asterisk indicates an apomorphic feature.
