Wertheimerinae , new subfamily
Included taxa. Kalyptodoras and Wertheimeria [type genus].
Diagnosis. The subfamily Wertheimerinae is diagnosed by the following characters: well-developed hyomandibular crest for levator arcus palatini muscle (#154: 1>2, exclusive), hyomandibula articulated with cranium only via sphenotic (#162: 1>2, also present in Acanthodoras and Agamyxis ), 12 or more ribs (#221: 1>2, also present in Centrodoras , Doraops , Lithodoras , Megalodoras , Oxydoras , and Pterodoras ).
Remarks. According to molecular data published by Arce et al. (2013), Franciscodoras should also be included in this subfamily as sister to Kalyptodoras . However, the present analysis recovered Franciscodoras as sister to all doradids, except Wertheimeria and Kalyptodoras . Due to the existing conflict of hypotheses regarding the phylogenetic position of Franciscodoras , the latter is herein considered as incertae sedis in Doradidae .
