“…This condition has not been found elsewhere among actinopterygians and is herein interpreted to be a unique synapomorphy for the Polynemidae. This conclusion agrees in part with that of Kang et al (2017: character 15), who considered that the whole subdivision pattern of the malaris (their adductor mandibulae section 1 or A1) is unique to polynemids among perciforms. However, as we discussed above, only the lateral aponeurotic origin of the promalaris on the preopercle can be more precisely optimized as a synapomorphy for the family.…”

“…The present study describes in detail the facial and branchial musculature of polynemids and compares it to representatives of Sciaenidae ( Bairdiella ronchus and Cynoscion striatus ), Sphyraenidae ( Sphyraena tome ), and Mugilidae ( Mugil curema ), the three families often proposed as closely related to Polynemidae based on morphological evidence (de Sylva, 1984; Johnson, 1993; Kang et al, 2017).…”

“…The family has been indecisively allocated to remarkably distinct phylogenetic positions within Percomorphacea. Based on morphological data, polynemids have been suggested to be closer to Mugilidae and Sphyraenidae (Rosen, 1964); Mugilidae, Sphyraenidae, Atherinidae, and Phallostethoidei (Gosline, 1962, 1968, 1971); and Sciaenidae (de Sylva, 1984; Johnson, 1993; Kang, Imamura, & Kawai, 2017). Molecular analyses, in turn, have alternatively aligned polynemids with Menidae (Betancur‐R et al, 2013); Menidae + Lactariidae (Sanciangco, Carpenter, & Betancur‐R, 2015); Pleuronectiformes + Carangiformes (Near et al, 2013); and Pleuronectiformes (Harrington et al, 2016; Hughes et al, 2018).…”

“…Until recently, only two papers reported isolated data on the adductor mandibulae of Polydactylus octonemus (Gosline, 1993) and on the suprabranchial musculature of Polydactylus oligodon and Filimanus xanthonema (Springer & Johnson, 2004). More recently, Kang et al (2017) briefly described 14 osteological characters and four from a few cranial and pectoral muscles, but the latter are rather superficial, and most skeletal muscles of polynemids remain unknown.…”

The Polynemidae is a family of primarily marine fishes with eight genera and 42 extant species. Many aspects of their morphology are largely unknown, with few reports about their osteology and barely any information on their myology. This paper describes and illustrates in detail all facial and branchial muscles of representative species of polynemids. Our analysis demonstrates the existence of several remarkable and previously unknown specializations in the polynemid musculature. The aponeurotic and completely independent origin of the pars promalaris of the adductor mandibulae is apparently unique among percomorphs. The differentiation of this section into lateral and medial subsections; the total separation of the promalaris from the retromalaris; the differentiation of the pars primordialis of the levator arcus palatini into external and internal subsections are also uncommon features of polynemids that are shared by sciaenids, thus supporting the hypothesis of a closer relationship between these families.

Anatomy and evolution of the pectoral filaments of threadfins (Polynemidae)

The most remarkable anatomical specialization of threadfins (Percomorphacea: Polynemidae) is the division of their pectoral fin into an upper, unmodified fin and a lower portion with rays highly modified into specialized filaments. Such filaments are usually elongate, free from interradial membrane, and move independently from the unmodified fin to explore the environment. The evolution of the pectoral filaments involved several morphological modifications herein detailed for the first time. The posterior articular facet of the coracoid greatly expands anteroventrally during development. Similar expansions occur in pectoral radials 3 and 4, with the former usually acquiring indentations with the surrounding bones and losing association with both rays and filaments. Whereas most percomorphs typically have four or five muscles serving the pectoral fin, adult polynemids have up to 11 independent divisions in the intrinsic pectoral musculature. The main adductor and abductor muscles masses of the pectoral system are completely divided into two muscle segments, each independently serving the pectoral-fin rays (dorsally) and the pectoral filaments (ventrally). Based on the innervation pattern and the discovery of terminal buds in the external surface of the filaments, we demonstrate for the first time that the pectoral filaments of threadfins have both tactile and gustatory functions.
