title: [Position of the genus Azygopterus (Stichaeidae, Perciformes) in the system of the suborder Zoarcoidei as inferred from sequence variation of mitochondrial and nuclear genes].
abstract: Analysis of sequence variation in the mitochondrial and nuclear genes in Azygopterus corallinus showed that this species was genetically close to the group uniting the representatives of the families Zoarcidae, Neozoarcidae, and Anarhichadidae. The considerable genetic differences between A. corallinus and the members of the family Stichaedae, to which it was assigned earlier, are consistent with the divergence estimates between the other families of the suborder Zoarcoidei (Zaproridae, Ptilichthyidae, Pholidae, Cryptacanthodidae, Bathymasteridae).
