Description:
Criticisms by Kriwet regarding recent work on pycnodont phylogeny are based on the use of additive characters. Therefore, applying transformation series in phylogenetic reconstruction is justified in theory and in practice, and an example of additional ontogenetic evidence supporting character ordering in pycnodonts is provided. Moreover, comments on some pycnodont genera are included, and the accurate taxonomic use of the genera Coelodus and Ocloedus is emphasised.
