Overlooked jugal on a king mackerel
Short one today.
As I confess to overlooking the jugal on the skull of the king mackerel, Scomberomorus (Figs. 1, 2)… yet another moment of discovery and correction, putting this puzzle together.
Reviewing the cladogram
brought this issue to my attention. Usually the data collector informs the data matrix. Here the cladogram informed the data collector.
Little jugals pasted over the hyomandibular
were also identified on several related taxa.
Scomberomorus cavalla (Cuvier 1829; 60cm) is the extant king mackeral or kingfish. Traditionally assocated with Scomber the mackerel, here it nests with Aphanopus. These taxa are basal to flying fish + swordfish and more distantly, sticklebacks + sea horses. King mackerels are derived from the barracuda, Sphyraena + the mahi-mahi, Coryphaena.
