FIGURE 7 in A long snout enchodontid fish (Aulopiformes: Enchodontidae) from the Early Cretaceous deposits at the El Chango quarry, Chiapas, southeastern Mexico: A multi-approach study

FIGURE 7. Phylogenetic relationships of Enchodontidae including Vegrandichthys coitecus gen. et sp. nov. obtained following the protocol described of the Standard of Maximum Parsimony (TL= 316, CI = 0.456, RI= 0.693). The subfamily Eurypholinae in green background and Enchodontinae in red background. Numbers by nodes indicate the supports values of Bremer/Bootstrap. Black squares indicate the presence of synapomorphic characters in Enchodontidae. Node a, Enchodontidae: presence of anteroventral prongs (36:1); absence of supraorbital bone (43:1); pelvic fin at or posterior to the dorsal fin in position (52:1); opercular and subopercular dermal pattern as tubercles (55:2). Node b: Laminar posterior limb in the ventral portion of the preopercle (50:0). Node c: Ectopterygoid teeth between six to eight teeth with the second tooth longest (12:2). Node d, Subfamily Eurypholinae: Ventral portion of cleithrum widens anteriorly and posteriorly (60:2). Node e: Laterally exposed articulation mandible-quadrate (34:1); Opercular horizontal strengthening ridge continues past posterior edge to form a spine (52:2). Node f: Mandibular dermal pattern as ridges with tubercles along each ridge (41:2); Preopercular dermal pattern as ridges with tubercles (54:2). Node q: Sigmoidal lateral view of dermopalatine teeth (16:2). Numbers by nodes show the Bremer/Bootstrap values. The subfamily Enchodontinae is only supported by homoplastic characters, therefore, we omitted them in the node description. Full description and character mapping are in Appendix II.
