Lepidosiren paradoxa, the first living dipnoan to be discovered, was first described from two specimens collected by Johann Natterer during his 18-year expedition in Brazil. Those specimens were first studied by Fitzinger and Bischoff, but few data are available to identify the syntypes of L. paradoxa. A reevaluation of Bischoff's original description permits one to clearly identify one of four lots--NMW-50270 pt.a--currently housed in the Naturhistorisches Museum Wien as part of one of the syntypes of this species, based mostly on the reported measurements and marks on the skull, and putatively attribute another lot--NMW-50270 pt.b--to the same specimen. Two lots could be definitely ruled out as part of the type series. The second type specimen could not be found.
斑鳞鱼，第一个被发现的活生有颌总鳍鱼类，最初是由约翰·纳特尔（Johann Natterer）在其 18 年的巴西探险中采集的两个标本描述的。这些标本最初由菲茨辛格（Fitzinger）和比肖夫（Bischoff）研究，但几乎没有数据可用于鉴定斑鳞鱼的原始模式标本。对比肖夫原始描述的重新评估可以清楚地识别出四个批次中的一个——NMW-50270 pt.a——目前作为该物种的原始模式标本之一存放在维也纳自然历史博物馆，主要基于头骨上报告的测量值和标记，并推测另一个批次——NMW-50270 pt.b——也属于同一标本。两个批次可以明确排除在模式标本系列之外。第二个模式标本没有找到。
