Aulostomoidei is a
suborder of the order Syngnathiformes, which also contains groups such as the seahorses, pipefishes and dragonets
.
Classification
There are two
superfamilies within the Aulostomoidei and they are:[1]
- Superfamily Aulostomoidea
- Family Aulostomidae (trumpetfishes)
- Family Fistularidae (cornetfishes)
- Family
- Superfamily Centriscoidea
- Family Macroramphosidae (snipefishes)
- Family Centriscidae (shrimpfishes)
- Family Dactylopteridae (flying gurnards)
Other authorities subsume the Aulostomoidea, as well as the Centriscidae (including Macroramphosus), into the "long-snouted clade" which makes up the suborder Syngnathoidei while placing the Dactylopteridae in the "benthic clade".[2]
