Bathydraco
''Bathydraco'' is a genus of marine ray-finned fishes belonging to the family Bathydraconidae, the Antarctic dragonfishes. They are native to the Southern Ocean. Taxonomy ''Bathydraco'' was first described as a genus in 1878 by the German-born British ichthyologist Albert Günther as a monotypic genus with '' B. antarctica'', which had been collected on the Callenger expedition south of Heard Island, as its type species. The generic name ''Bathydraco'' is a combination of ''bathy'' meaning "deep" and ''draco'' meaning dragon, the type of ''B. antarctica'' was collected at and ''draco'' is a commonly used suffix for Notothenioids. Species There are currently five recognized species in this genus: * ''Bathydraco antarcticus'' Günther, 1878 * '' Bathydraco joannae'' H. H. DeWitt, 1985 * '' Bathydraco macrolepis'' Boulenger, 1907 * '' Bathydraco marri'' Norman Norman or Normans may refer to: Ethnic and cultural identity * The Normans, a people partly descended from Norse V ...

Bathydraconidae
The Bathydraconidae, or the Antarctic dragonfishes, are a family of marine ray-finned fishes, notothenioids belonging to the Perciform suborder Notothenioidei. The family comprises four genera. These fishes are endemic to deep waters off Antarctica. Taxonomy Bathydraconidae was first formally described as a family in 1913 by the English ichthyologist Charles Tate Regan in his report on the fishes collected on the Scottish National Antarctic Expedition to the Royal Society of Edinburgh. He used the genus '' Bathydraco'', which had been described by Albert Gunther in 1878 as a monotypic genus with '' B. antarctica'' as its type species, as the type genus. Molecular analyses have supported the split of bathydraconids into three clades; Bathydraconinae which includes ''Bathydraco'', '' Prionodraco'' and '' Racovitzia''; Gymnodraconinae which includes '' Gymnodraco'', '' Psilodraco'' and '' Acanthodraco''); and Cygnodraconinae including '' Cygnodraco'', '' Gerlachea'' and '' Parach ...

Louis Dollo
Louis Antoine Marie Joseph Dollo (Lille, 7 December 1857 – Brussels, 19 April 1931) was a Belgian palaeontologist, known for his work on dinosaurs. He also posited that evolution is not reversible, known as Dollo's law. Together with the Austrian Othenio Abel, Dollo established the principles of paleobiology. Early life Louis Dollo was born in Lille, Nord-Pas-de-Calais, a scion of an old Breton family. He studied at the École centrale de Lille, with geologist Jules Gosselet and zoologist Alfred Giard, both of whom influenced the young Dollo. In 1877, he graduated with a degree in engineering. After his graduation, he worked in the mining industry for five years, but simultaneously developed a passion for paleontology. In 1879, he moved to Brussels.
