Correlation of myctophid species from the early and middle Miocene across three studied areas around the Pacific based on this work, Schwarzhans (2019), and Schwarzhans and Nielsen (2021). Numbers at regions represent number of myctophid species recognized; number on arrows indicate shared species between regions. Paleogeographic reconstruction based on Blakey (2021).
