Discussion Coryphopterus lipernes and C. personatus belong to the high-bodied otolith morphotype found in the genus, which is further characterized by high positioned predorsal angle and thus is easily distinguished from the known otoliths of the other extant Coryphopterus species. Te otoliths of C. lipernes are slightly less high-bodied than those of C. personatus (OL:OH = 0.9–0.95 vs 0.85–0.9) and show a narrower sulcus. Te only available extant specimen of C. lipernes ( Fig. 40a View Fig ) is somewhat eroded by formalin but nevertheless allows a reliable correlation with the fossil specimen ( Fig. 40b View Fig ).
