Abstract
Hyneria lindae, gen. et sp. nov., is a large rhizodontid rhipidistian fish from the Upper Devonian (Oswayo Formation) of Pennsylvania. It shows a remarkable similarity to the intermediate stages that must have preceded the first true Amphibia. The similarity is due to the parallel evolution of rhizodontid Rhipidistia and the Amphibia from a common stock in the Middle or early Late Devonian.
