Synapomorphies of Pentacerotidae View in CoL View at ENA
SA 9. Absence of a tooth plate on the third epibranchial.
The third epibranchial tooth plate is present in most typical percoid (e.g., Tominaga, 1968; Kim, 2002; Imamura, 2004; Otero, 2004; pers. obs.), whereas the epibranchial tooth plate is lacking in pentacerotids, and is therefore a synapomorphy.
