3 Electronic Appendix B. Phylogenetic Analysis. The cladogram presented in figure 2 is based on the analysis of an updated version of the matrix presented in Forey (1998), which consists of 109 morphological characters (87 cranial, 22 postcranial) scored for 25 ingroup taxa. Actinopterygians and porolepiforms were set as outgroups. Following Forey (1998), we have not included the following genera, which are highly unstable owing to considerable amounts of missing data: Axelia, Euporosteus, Indocoelacanthus, Lualabaea, Ticinepomis and Wimania. A strict consensus of the 54 shortest cladograms recovered when all characters are weighted equally differs from the topology presented in figure 2 in placing Hadronector, Lochmocercus, and Polyosteorhynchus in a polytomy with the clades [Holopterygius + Allenypterus] and [Caridosuctor + all more crownward coelacanths]. A majority-rule consensus of these cladograms places Hadronector, [Holopterygius + Allenypterus], Lochmocercus, and Polyosteorhynchus as successively more crownward plesions along the coelacanth stem above Diplocercides. All solutions recover the sister-group relationship between Holopterygius and Allenypterus. Character list.

Additions and modifications of the matrix in Forey (1998) are highlighted by bold, underlined text. Holopterygius and character are both new additions. Character 31 was miscoded in Forey (1998), but the author has provided us with corrected scores (P. L. Forey, pers. comm.). The mandible of Allenypterus is edentulous, and we argue that the state of the dentary teeth (character 54) of this taxon cannot logically be assessed. We have therefore scored this character as?.

Morphometric Analysis. Raw landmark coordinates. The source of the reconstruction or specimen photograph from which landmarks were digitized are given in parentheses after each genus. For a listing of landmarks used in this study, consult figure 2 of the primary text. Landmarks were placed on the reconstruction of Holopterygius presented in figure 1 of the primary text. Although the position of the dorsal, anal, and pelvic fins in this taxon are incompletely known, those incorporated into the reconstruction are conservative estimates based on the conditions in its closest relative, Allenypterus.
