Fig. 8. a. Dorsal view of the posterior portion of skull in Dastilbe moraesi (CPUFMT 732.7 mm TFL) and b. Chanos chanos (modified from Poyato-Ariza et al., 2010). c. Dorsal view of the anterior portion of skull in Dastilbe moraesi (CPUFMT 735, 26.4 mm SL). Synapomorphies of Chanini observed are: 1- exoccipitals with a posterior concave-convex border, with a projection above basioccipital. 2- large mesethmoid, with broad posterolateral wing-like expansions.
