Relationships and Evolution of Lumpsuckers of the Family Cyclopteridae (Cottoidei)
2020
Overview
Phylogenetic morphological, and molecular analysis of lumpsuckers of the family Cyclopteridae is carried out. The cladograms reveal the validity of three subfamilies within the family Cyclopteridae: Cyclopterinae, Aptocyclinae, and Eumicrotrematominae. Five valid genera (
Cyclopterus
,
Aptocyclus
,
Cyclopsis
,
Lethotremus,
and
Eumicrotremus
) are revealed, and the genus
Cyclopterus
is accepted as the most generalized within the family Cyclopteridae. The genus
Lethotremus
is separated from the species of the genus
Eumicrotremus
, and, thus, the generic status of the former genus is restored. The taxonomic position of
E. soldatovi
is discussed. Based on the presence of a large number of monotypic genera among generalized clades of lumpsuckers, they could represent the remains of the former widely distributed fauna with a weak development or absence of external armament. The forms of the genus
Eumicrotremus
with a good armament represent a comparatively young group of weakly differentiated species. Several heterochronies of the paedomorphic and peramorphic types are revealed in the evolution of the family Cyclopteridae.
