Treatment

Hydrolycus scomberoides View in CoL is characterized by the following autapomorphies:

1. Reduction of ventral lamella of mesethmoid (character 8).

2. Lateralethmoidorbitosphenoid contact, independently acquired in clade formed by Rhaphiodon and Cynodon (character 17).

3. Intermediate distance between orbitosphenoid and parasphenoid (character 18).

4. Reduced dorsal portion of sphenotic spine, no longer contacting ventrolateral margin of frontal, independently acquired in clade formed by Rhaphiodon and Cynodon (character 21).

5. Anterior portion of frontal shelf truncated at midline of orbit (character 22–state 4).

6. Dorsoventrally flat and laterally directed lateral process of second vertebra (character 45–state 2).

7. Insertion of pelvic fins far from ventral profile of body (character 63).

8. Serrations on exposed portion of scales (character 68).
