Genus Histiopterus Temminck and Schlegel, 1844 View in CoL View at ENA
( Fig. 70)
Histiopterus Temminck and Schlegel, 1844: 86 View in CoL (type species: Histiopterus typus Temminck and Schlegel, 1844 View in CoL ).
Diagnosis. Number of abdominal vertebrae 12; upper caudal lobe supporting eight branched caudal fin rays; posterior portion of urostyle having long spine; third and forth dorsal spines long; second anal fin spine longest.
Remarks. The genus is monotypic, containing only Histiopterus typus Temminck and Schlegel, 1844 .
In addition to derived characters recognized in Histiopterus based on the phylogenetic analysis (see section VI), two external characters, the third and fourth dorsal spines long and second anal-fin spine longest, are useful distinguishing this genus from other pentacerotid genera (vs. spines short in others).
