Whiteiidae
Extinct family of coelacanths
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Whiteiidae is an extinct family of prehistoric coelacanth fishes which lived during the Triassic period.[1] Torino, Soto, and Perea (2021) did not support this clade as it was not found to be monophyletic in their analysis,[2] however, Ferrante and Cavin (2025) found the family to be a valid clade.[3]
