The first vertebra fuses to the basioccipital in early ontogeny in the two molids and previous authors thus confused that vertebra with the back of the basioccipital, so that all previous counts of their vertebral numbers are incorrect by one vertebra. As evidenced by\n                    <jats:italic>Lactophrys<\/jats:italic>\n                    sp., ostraciids are the only other tetraodontiforms with similar occipito\u2010vertebral fusion. In contrast to the molids, additional anterior vertebrae fuse with this complex in ostraciids. We conclude that the shared occipito\u2010vertebral fusion in molids and ostraciids and its otherwise extremely rare occurrence among teleosts provide support for a sister\u2010group relationship of the two families.
