Neodraco , new genus urn:lsid:zoobank.org:act: 489B040E-2B31-48C9-A814- C77310289EDB Type species.— Artedidraco skottsbergi (Lönnberg, 1905: 48–49; Fig. 1). Definition.— The least inclusive clade that includes Neodraco skottsbergi (Lönnberg, 1905) and Neodraco loennbergi (Roule, 1913). The reference phylogeny is one inferred from the min84 dataset (including DNA sequences of 64,980 ddRAD loci) presented in Figure 2. Diagnosis.— First dorsal fin with two to three spines, second dorsal fin with 24 to 28 rays, anal fin with 14 to 17 rays, and pectoral fin with 17 to 21 rays. The upper lateral line has 2 to 9 anterior tubular scales and 1 to 16 posterior disc-shaped scales. Number of vertebrae ranges between 36 and 40. In the caudal skeleton, the parhypural and lower hypural plate are fused with the urostyle (Eakin, 1981). The depth of the head is similar to the body depth to the caudal peduncle. The diameter of the orbit exceeds the length of the snout. The interorbital width is narrow, ranging 13 to 24 times ... : Published as part of Parker, Elyse & Near, Thomas J., 2022, Phylogeny Reconciles Classification in Antarctic Plunderfishes, pp. 662-674 in Ichthyology & Herpetology 110 (4) on page 665, DOI: 10.1643/i2021126, http://zenodo.org/record/7846951 ...
