N2  - Artedidraconids (Plunderfishes) are small benthic notothenioid fishes of the Antarctic and South Georgia shelf and slope. The family Artedidraconidae is monophyletic; however, the relationships within the family have remained poorly explored until now, and based on a small sample of the genus Artedidraco . The present study focuses on the interrelationships among the artedidraconid genera and the phylogeny of the genus Artedidraco . 2,353 base pairs from 77 specimens were sequenced from the partial mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase I gene and cytochrome b gene, the partial mitochondrial control region and the partial nuclear rhodopsin retrogene. The genus Artedidraco is not monophyletic, confirming the preliminary relationships found by Derome et al. (Mol Phylogenet Evol 24:139152, 2002 ): Pogonophryne , Dolloidraco and Histiodraco are well embedded within the genus Artedidraco . From Artedidraco skottsbergi and A. loennbergi to A. orianae and A. mirus , the tree shows that there is an increasing number of upper lateral line tubular scales and decreasing number of disc-shaped scales. There is also a trend toward a decrease in the number of epipleural ribs and an increase in number of pleural ribs along the tree.
