Coryphaenoides contortus (Bassoli, 1906)

The holotype of C. contortus was previously assigned to the genus Nezumia (Nolf & Steurbaut 1983; Lin et al. 2015) based on the general outline of the otolith; however, the large, well-preserved specimen now available (Fig. 8B) shows a clear pince-nez-shaped sulcus with an upwardly bent crista superior and a crista inferior that is strongly constricted at the collum, suggesting closer affinities with the genus Coryphaenoides than with Nezumia Jordan, 1904 .
