Basal (phylogenetics)
In phylogenetics, basal is the direction of the base (or root) of a rooted phylogenetic tree or cladogram.

Caspian lamprey
The Caspian lamprey, Caspiomyzon wagneri, is a species of lamprey native to the Caspian Sea, and a member of the Petromyzontidae family.
See Caspiomyzon and Caspian lamprey
Central Asia
Central Asia is a subregion of Asia that stretches from the Caspian Sea in the southwest and Eastern Europe in the northwest to Western China and Mongolia in the east, and from Afghanistan and Iran in the south to Russia in the north.

Eastern Europe
Eastern Europe is a subregion of the European continent.

Endemism
Endemism is the state of a species only being found in a single defined geographic location, such as an island, state, nation, country or other defined zone; organisms that are indigenous to a place are not endemic to it if they are also found elsewhere.
Eocene
The Eocene is a geological epoch that lasted from about 56 to 33.9 million years ago (Ma).
Eudontomyzon
Eudontomyzon is a genus of lamprey in the family Petromyzontidae. Caspiomyzon and Eudontomyzon are jawless fish genera.
See Caspiomyzon and Eudontomyzon
Family (biology)
Family (familia,: familiae) is one of the nine major hierarchical taxonomic ranks in Linnaean taxonomy.
See Caspiomyzon and Family (biology)
Genus
Genus (genera) is a taxonomic rank above species and below family as used in the biological classification of living and fossil organisms as well as viruses.
Greece
Greece, officially the Hellenic Republic, is a country in Southeast Europe.
Greek lamprey
The Greek lamprey (Caspiomyzon hellenicus) (also known as the Greek or Macedonia brook lamprey) is a species of jawless fish in the Petromyzontidae family.

Ichthyomyzon
Ichthyomyzon is a genus of lampreys in the family Petromyzontidae, native to North America. Caspiomyzon and Ichthyomyzon are jawless fish genera.

Lamprey
Lampreys (sometimes inaccurately called lamprey eels) are a group of jawless fish comprising the order Petromyzontiformes.
Late Cretaceous
The Late Cretaceous (100.5–66 Ma) is the younger of two epochs into which the Cretaceous Period is divided in the geologic time scale.

Lev Berg
Lev Semyonovich Berg, also known as Leo S. Berg (Лев Семёнович Берг.; 14 March 1876 – 24 December 1950) was a leading Russian geographer, biologist and ichthyologist who served as President of the Soviet Geographical Society between 1940 and 1950.
Monotypic taxon
In biology, a monotypic taxon is a taxonomic group (taxon) that contains only one immediately subordinate taxon.
See Caspiomyzon and Monotypic taxon
Petromyzontidae
Petromyzontidae are a family of lampreys native to the Northern Hemisphere, comprising the vast majority of living lampreys.
See Caspiomyzon and Petromyzontidae
Pliocene
The Pliocene (also Pleiocene) is the epoch in the geologic time scale that extends from 5.333 million to 2.58 million years ago.
Sea lamprey
The sea lamprey (Petromyzon marinus) is a parasitic lamprey native to the Northern Hemisphere.
See Caspiomyzon and Sea lamprey
Synonym (taxonomy)
The Botanical and Zoological Codes of nomenclature treat the concept of synonymy differently.
