222 UPPER CRETACEOUS TELEOSTS 
The major feature in which Nematonotus differs from the myctophiforms is the 
toothed maxilla. Its upper jaw is intermediate in form between the myctophi- 
form Sardiniotdes and the ctenothrissiform Pattersonichthys. On this basis the genus 
Nematonotus cannot be satisfactorily included within the Myctophiformes and 
Fic. 94. Nematonotus sp. Neurocranium in dorsal view. The broken line on the right 
side of the figure indicates the course of the sensory canals. From B.M.N.H. number 
P.48681. Middle Cenomanian, Hajula, Lebanon.
