- Genus Histiopterus Temminck and Schlegel, 1844 (Fig. 70) Histiopterus Temminck and Schlegel, 1844: 86 (type species: Histiopterus typus Temminck and Schlegel, 1844). Diagnosis. Number of abdominal vertebrae 12; upper caudal lobe supporting eight branched caudal fin rays; posterior portion of urostyle having long spine; third and forth dorsal spines long; second anal fin spine longest. Remarks. The genus is monotypic, containing only Histiopterus typus Temminck and Schlegel, 1844. In addition to derived characters recognized in Histiopterus based on the phylogenetic analysis (see section VI), two external characters, the third and fourth dorsal spines long and second anal-fin spine longest, are useful distinguishing this genus from other pentacerotid genera (vs. spines short in others).
