Remarks Te otoliths of Parachaeturichthys are characterized by a large dorsal lobe that extends in the postero-dorsal direction. While similar enlarged lobes can also be observed in the otoliths of Amblychaeturichthys and Chaeturichthys , the size of the specimens in question more closely resembles those of Parachaeturichthys . Tis similarity can be observed in previous references such as Ohe (1985: p. 132–133), Iizuka and Katayama (2008: p. 145), and Ohe et al., (2020: Fig. 7 View Fig ).
