Whiteiidae

Whiteiidae is an extinct family of prehistoric coelacanth fishes which lived during the Triassic period.^[1] Torino, Soto, and Perea (2021) did not support this clade as it was not found to be monophyletic in their analysis,^[2] however, Ferrante and Cavin (2025) found the family to be a valid clade.^[3]
