Latimeria: History, Structure and Importance | Bony Fish
Latimeria is a peculiar bony fish belonging to the subclass Crossopterygii. It is the sole surviving representative of the coelacanths. The discovery of this ‘living fossil’ created a sensational history in the science of fishes. The first living specimen was caught at a depth of about 80 m near the eastern coast of South Africa in the year 1938.

Latimeria - an overview | ScienceDirect Topics
In the marine coelacanth, Latimeria, the “rostral organ” located between the eye and olfactory organ represents a complex of three principal canals that end centrally in small sensory crypts (Millot and Anthony, 1956) and is thought to be a homologous structure to the elasmobranch ampullae of Lorenzini (Bemis and Heatherington, 1982).

The Comoros coelacanth (Latimeria chalumnae) and Indonesian coelacanth (Latimeria menadoensis) are the only extant species of Latimeria, an ancient order of lobe-finned fishes from which lungfish, mammals, and humans evolved, and which was thought to be extinct. We cannot know many of the aspects of the physiology of ancient coelacanths, but ...
