Chirodipterus is an extinct genus of marine lungfish which lived during the Devonian period. [1] Fossils have been found worldwide, including Germany, China, eastern & western Australia, and the United States ( Michigan). However, it has been suggested that the genus as currently defined is polyphyletic, in which case only the German type species (C. wildungensis) would belong to the genus. [2] [3]
The following species are known:
- †'C.' australis Miles, 1977 - Frasnian of Western Australia ( Gogo Formation) [4]
- †'C.' liangchengi Song & Chang, 1991 - Late Devonian of Hunan, China
- †'C.' onawayensis Schultze, 1982 - Givetian of Michigan, USA ( Traverse Group) [5]
- †'C.' potteri Kemp, 2000 - Frasnian and Famennian of New South Wales, Australia [6]
- †'C.' rhenanus Mors, 1991 - Givetian of the Rhenish Massif, Germany [7]
- †C. wildungensis Gross, 1933 - Late Devonian of Wildungen, Germany
The former species C. paddyensis is now placed in the genus Gogodipterus. [8] It has been suggested that the type species (C. wildungensis), is most closely related to Rhinodipterus, whereas 'C.' australis and 'C.' liangchengi are related to Pillararhynchus and Sorbitorhynchus. [2]
