Osteoglossomorpha is a group of

Teleostei
.

Notable members

A notable member is the

freshwater elephantfishes
of family Mormyridae.

Systematics

Most osteoglossomorph lineages are

extinct today. Only the somewhat diverse "bone-tongues" (Osteoglossiformes) and two species of mooneyes (Hiodontiformes) remain.[1][2][3]
