Figure 3. (A₁) Dorsal view of Brachyrhamdia marthae right pectoral-fin spine and girdle, USNM 305641, total spine length 5.8 mm; (A₂) Illustration of B. marthae right pectoral-fin spine in dorsal view. Black indicates the ossified portion of spine, while gray portion indicates the unossified spurious ray; (B₁) Dorsal view of B. heteropleura right pectoral-fin spine and girdle, USNM 226105, total spine length 4.6 mm; (B₂) Illustration of B. heteropleura right pectoral-fin spine in dorsal view. Black indicates the ossified portion of the spine, while the gray portion indicates the unossified spurious ray (completed according to left pectoral-fin spine). The proximal portion of spine cannot be observed when the spine is articulated, therefore illustrations of such portion were produced according to direct observation. Abbreviations: ad = anterior denticulation, clth = cleithrum, pcp = posterior cleithrum process, ps = posterior serration.
