|---|---|---|
| A. F. Bannikov and J. C. Tyler 2008 | The new genus is unique among all balistids, both fossil and Recent, by the following: supraneural carina strut vertically oriented and articu- lating with carina distinctly posterior to vertical level of base of third dorsal fin spine; long posterior projection of distal end of pelvis (basipterigium) beyond dorsal lobe, with encasing scales well separated from region of dorsal lobe; distance between bases of second and third dorsal fin spines relatively great (6.9 times in stan- dard body length = SL); width of base of first dorsal fin spine relatively slender in proportion to length of carina (9.6 times in carina length). |
