Table 2. Frequency distribution of meristic data for Microlepidogaster dimorpha. Rays and teeth counts were made for holotype (DZSJRP 10543) and for 30 paratypes (DZSJRP 5564, 8750, 12332; MCP 45866; MNRJ 37848; MZUSP 107585). Plates (counted in both sides whenever possible), procurrent rays, and vertebrae counts were made for 4 c&s paratypes (DZSJRP 8750, 12332).
