Quote from Denton, 2013, p. 790: "Lampanyctus petrolifer and Lampanyctus bolini (David, 1943), are likely not assigned correctly (Fitch, 1969; Prokofiev, 2002). Fitch (1969:14) notes a communication from R. Lavenberg that L. petrolifer is instead a Lepidophanes, and that L. bolini is instead a Diaphus. Although neither rediagnosis was accompanied with character data, examination of several L. petrolifer specimens at the LACM supports assignment of L. petrolifer to the Lampanyctini subclade containing Bolinichthys, Ceratoscopelus, and Lepidophanes, based on the unique morphology in this subclade of the procurrent caudal rays, and on the large size of the orbits in the cranial profile.” References: David, L.
