1871 T. H. Huxley Man. Anat. Vertebrated Animals i. 39 In the other Ganoids the propterygial basale disappears.

1893 Amer. Naturalist 27 1000 My observations on Symmorium..show that the median axis of the archipterygium is not propterygial or mesapterygial, but is metapterygial.

1933 Acta Zoologica 14 205 The propterygial ray should represent the radius, radiale and prepollex; the metapterygial should be the ulna-pisiforme proximale and distale.
