Truncopiscidae

The Truncopiscidae is a small family of amphibians found in the temperate waters of the southern hemisphere.
The historic range for the family was vast, taking up large stretches of the south Irobian Ocean, however, since the colonization, the family saw a severe reduction of its natural habitat due to anthropic activities such as the clearing of their native kelp forests for aquaculture.
The Truncopiscidae is a sister taxa to the Tubercolostomatosoidea and is defined as all the amphibians more closely related to Truncopiscis germenmimus than to Kugawa velis. Diagnostic characters for the family include (but are not limited to) a short, stubby, tuberculus, the presence of only two Jaws positioned frontally and arcuated, the eyes laying on top of short stalks and the pectoral fin extending down to the Anal I in a veil-like membrane.
