The ray-finned fish Plesiofuro mingshuica from the Triassic non-marine deposits of northern Gansu Province, China, was previously misidentified as a caturid halecomorph. This erroneous taxonomic assignment contributed to the misinterpretation of the age of the Plesiofuro-bearing fossil beds as Early Jurassic. Here, we provide a taxonomic revision of this problematic taxon based on a comparative study including over 500 new specimens. The revised description of Plesiofuro accommodates significant changes to the reconstruction of the snout, skull roof, cheek, circumorbital, and operculogular series, as well as the lower jaw. Results of a cladistic analysis incorporating these new data place Plesiofuro as a stem-group neopterygian. Additionally, phylogenetic results show that both 'Perleidiformes' and 'Peltopleuriformes' are paraphyletic, encompassing several independent stem-neopterygian subclades. As such, this study sheds new light on one of the least resolved areas of osteichthyan phylogeny: the so-called 'subholosteans' of the neopterygian total group.

“…The Ettling quarry is a relatively new locality well known for yielding abundant and exceptionally well preserved fossil fish specimens representing a variety of taxonomic groups (Arratia, 1997;Ebert and K€ olbl-Ebert, 2008, 2010Brito and Ebert, 2009;Arratia and Tischlinger, 2010;Konwert, 2011;Lane and Ebert, 2012;Schr€ oder et al, 2012;Ebert et al, submitted). Additional actinopterygian fish taxa found at Ettling include other halecomorphs (i.e., 'Furo' muensteri, Amiopsis lepidota, and an unidentified ionoscopid), semionotiforms, pycnodontiforms, aspidorynchiforms, Pleuropholis (and other 'pholidophoriforms'), and numerous crown teleosts.…”

A taxonomic reassessment ofOphiopsis(Halecomorphi, Ionoscopiformes), with a revision of Upper Jurassic species from the Solnhofen Archipelago, and a new genus of Ophiopsidae

Although the type species of Ophiopsis was long considered O. procera, the genus originally included the single species Ophiopsis muensteri, which subsequent authors moved to Furo. Following the International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature code, Furo muensteri is here recognized as the type species of Ophiopsis by monotypy (Article 68.3). Ophiopsiella, gen. nov., is erected to include all remaining previously described 'Ophiopsis' species. Exceptionally well preserved new Ophiopsiella attenuata from the Upper Jurassic plattenkalk of Ettling (Bavaria, Germany) represents the first record of this species from Ettling, allowing for a partial revision of it and Ophiopsiella procera. New evidence allows for an emended diagnosis of Ophiopsiella attenuata, which differs from all other Ophiopsidae in the following combination of features: 27-28 dorsal fin rays, 42 vertical scale rows, and a long, low, posteroventrally inclined dorsal fin lacking elongate anterior fin rays or a strongly concave posterior border. A neotype for O. attenuata is designated, as the type is lost. 'Ophiopsis' attenuata actually contains two anatomically different morphotypes corresponding to distinct species, one of which is indistinguishable from 'Ophiopsis' procera. Exceptional preservation of the new material provides new morphological information, particularly regarding the dermal cranial bones. This revision changes the known distribution of ophiopsids in the Upper Jurassic of southern Germany and France, with possible broader paleobiogeographic and paleoecological implications for this region during the Late Jurassic. Ophiopsids remain poorly known compared with other halecomorphs (e.g., Amiidae), and closer investigation of their morphology and taxonomic relationships is therefore important to understanding broader patterns of halecomorph evolution.http://zoobank.org/urn:lsid:zoobank.org:pub:6B250A32-9FAA-4EF6-9D91-6D1C5E91E547

“…These fish have some similarities with the genus Furo found in Solnhofen, Germany, and other European localities. A revision of Furo FROM TALBRAGAR AND KOONWARRA, EASTERN AUSTRALIA muensteri by Lane and Ebert (2012) has indicated that the genus Furo and its family Ophiopsidae need revision, so the large fish found at Talbragar will need to be described and named. Turner and Avery (2017) have published a description of the first-known Jurassic chondrichthyan ('shark') from Australasia.…”

Eastern Australia has two major Mesozoic fossil localities. The Talbragar Fish Bed in central west New South Wales contains an assemblage of Upper Jurassic fishes, plants and insects. The Koonwarra Fossil Bed, in South Gippsland, Victoria, has an assemblage of Lower Cretaceous fishes, plants and insects. The geological settings of these localities are described. Each locality has a common genus of fish that was originally described as Leptolepis. The names of both these fish have been changed, the Talbragar one to Cavenderichthys talbragarensis and the Koonwarra one to Waldmanichthys koonwarri. Both of these fish have been placed into the Family Luisiellidae, together with a Patagonian fish, Luisiella feruglioi. Each locality also has a member of the family Archaeomenidae: Archaeomene tenuis from Talbragar and Wadeichthys oxyops from Koonwarra. The relationships of these and other fish have been discussed by various authors over the last 20 years and a summary of these comments is presented, as well as a brief comparison between the plants of both localities. The localities of Talbragar, Koonwarra and the Argentinian fishes during the Mesozoic appear to have similar palaeo-environmental settings, which may explain the similarities in the assemblages. The Australian localities contain well-preserved specimens which shed light on the diversity and extent of fishes in southern Gondwana, a region otherwise poorly represented in the fossil record.
