Freshwater gobies 30 million years ago: New insights into character evolution and phylogenetic relationships of †Pirskeniidae (Gobioidei, Teleostei)
Original language description
The modern Gobioidei (Teleostei) comprise eight families, but the extinct †Pirskeniidaenfrom the lower Oligocene of the Czech Republic indicate that further families may havenexisted in the past. However, the validity of the †Pirskeniidae has been questioned and itsnsingle genus †Pirskenius has been assigned to the extant family Eleotridae in previousnworks. The objective of this study is to clarify the status of the †Pirskeniidae. Whether or notnthe †Pirskeniidae should be synonymised with the Eleotridae is also interesting from a biogeographical point of view as Eleotridae is not present in Europe or the Mediterranean Seantoday. We present new specimens and re-examine the material on which the two knownnspecies of †Pirskenius are based (†P. diatomaceus Obrhelova´, 1961, †P. radoni Přikryl,n2014). To provide a context for phylogenetically informative characters related to the palatine and the branchiostegal rays, three early-branching gobioids (Rhyacichthys, Protogobius, Perccottus), an eleotrid (Eleotris) and a gobiid (Gobius) were subjected to micro-CTnanalysis. The new data justify revalidation of the family †Pirskeniidae, and a revised diagnosis is presented for both †Pirskenius and †Pirskeniidae. Moreover, we provide for the firstntime an attempt to relate a fossil gobioid to extant taxa based on phylogenetic analysis. Thenresults indicate a sister-group relationship of †Pirskeniidae to the Thalasseleotrididae +nGobiidae + Oxudercidae clade. Considering the fossil record, the arrival of gobioids in freshwater habitats in the early Oligocene apparently had generated new lineages that finallynwere not successful and became extinct shortly after they had diverged. There is currentlynno evidence that the Eleotridae was present in the European ichthyofauna in the past.
