The Histiophryninae are a subfamily of the frogfish (Antennariidae). The subfamily was at in 2011 Revision of anglers fish by Rachel J. Arnold and Armflosserexperten Theodore W. Pietsch described and the name of the type genus Histiophryne derived. The subfamily forms, alongside its sister group , the subfamily Antennariinae , one of the two main frogfish clades.
Histiophryninae has a limited range stretching in the Indo-Pacific from Taiwan to Tasmania , with the greatest biodiversity in the Malay Archipelago , while the Antennariinae occur worldwide in tropical and subtropical seas.
features
All species of the Histiophryninae have the short, laterally flattened body typical of all frogfish. The Histiophryninae differ from the Antennariinae in the loss of the mesopterygoid, a bone between the pterygoid (wing bone) and metapterygoid, and part of the orbit , and the epurale, an elongated, free-standing bone in the caudal fin skeleton, behind the last neural arch of the spine.
Another characteristic of the subfamily is the direct development of the fry by bypassing a larval stage and various forms of brood care , while the Antennariinae do not care for the brood, are free spawners and pelagic larvae hatch from the eggs . In adaptation to these different reproductive strategies, the ovaries of the females of Antennariinae and Histiophryninae have a different morphology .
Phylogeny
Within the frogfish, Histiophryninae is the sister group of the subfamily Antennariinae . Histiophryninae itself can in turn be divided into two main clades, one of which, formed from the genera Rhycherus , Kuiterichthys , Echinophryne , Phyllophryne and another, previously undescribed, endemic in the cool waters of the Australian south below 30 ° south latitude .
