Fig 2. Schematic drawings indicating measurements used in this study.

A, morphometric parameters; B1–B2 measurements of hypural plate length and width and measurements of the spine widths on the caudal skeleton of †K. kipkechi sp. nov. (paratype 1200´04); note that the proximal part of the parhypural (with an anteroventral projection) does not overlap the terminal centrum, left lateral view. Abbreviations: ep, epural; Go, gill opening; H, maximum body depth; h, minimum body depth; hA, depth of anal fin; hc, head depth; hD, depth of dorsal fin; hs2–5, haemal spine of preural vertebrae 2–5; lA, length of anal fin base; lc, length of head; lC, length of caudal fin; lD, length of dorsal fin base; lmd, lower jaw length, i.e. distance from anteriormost point of lower jaw symphysis to posteriormost margin of mandibular joint; lH, length of hypural plate; lmx, upper jaw length, i.e. distance between anteriormost point of premaxillary and posteriormost point of maxillary; lP, length of pectoral fin; lPbs, length of pectoral fin base; lpc, length of caudal peduncle; lV, length of pelvic fin; lVbs, length of pelvic fin base; ns2–5, neural spine of preural vertebrae 2–5; Or, eye diameter; pA, preanal distance; P–A, distance between pectoral fin base and anal fin base; pD, predorsal distance; phy, parhypural; poA, postanal distance, i.e. from posterior end of anal fin to end of caudal fin rays; poD, postdorsal distance, i.e. from posterior end of dorsal fin to end of caudal fin rays; pP, prepectoral distance; prO, preorbital distance; pu2–4, preural vertebrae 2–4; pV, prepelvic distance; P–V, distance between pectoral fin base and pelvic fin base; s, stegural; SL, standard length; TL, total length; V–A, distance between pelvic fin base and anal fin base; wH, width of hypural plate.
