Whiteia is an extinct genus of prehistoric coelacanth fish which lived during the Triassic period. [1] It is named after Errol White.
Taxonomy
The type species is Whiteia woodwardi from the Early Triassic of Madagascar. Other Early Triassic species are W. tuberculata, W. uyenoteruyai (both Madagascar), W. nielseni ( East Greenland), W.? banffensis ( Alberta, Canada) and W. africana ( South Africa). [1] Two species, W. oishii ( West Timor, Indonesia) and W. gigantea ( Texas, United States), are of Late Triassic age. [2] [3] [4]
The nominal species Coelacanthus evolutus Beltan, 1980 is a junior synonym of Whiteia woodwardi. [5]
