ACTINOPTERYGIANS FROM THE MIDDLE TRIASSIC OF NORTHERN ITALY AND CANTON TICINO (SWITZERLAND): ANATOMICAL DESCRIPTIONS AND NOMENCLATURAL PROBLEMS by CRISTINA LOMBARDO

“…The actinopterygians Allolepidotus bellottii (Rüppell), Furo trottii (Balsamo Crivelli, 1839) and Perleidus altolepis (Deecke, 1889), so far known from the Perledo Member (upper member of the Perledo-Varenna Formation), are here redescribed on the basis of well-preserved material coming from the late Ladinian Kalkschieferzone of Ca' del Frate (Viggiù, Varese) and Meride (Canton Ticino, Switzerland).
