However, the classification is also considered as a polyphyly by molecular phylogenies. Trachinidae itself is eventually part of Percoidei. Other members are respectively belongs to Scombriformes, Gobiiformes, new orders Uranoscopiformes, Pempheriformes, and other clades in Perciformes.[2]
Timeline of genera
Families
The following families make up the Trachiniformes:[3] (with respectively belonging taxa following the molecular phylogenies)[2]
- Ammodytidae Bonaparte, 1832 - sandeels or sandlances (considered as part of Uranoscopiformes).
- Chiasmodontidae Jordan & Gilbert, 1883 - the swallowers (considered as part of Scombriformes).
- Champsodontidae Jordan & Snyder, 1902 - gulpers, gapers or crocodile toothfishes (considered as part of Pempheriformes).
- Cheimarrichthyidae Regan, 1913 - New Zealand torrentfishes (considered as part of Uranoscopiformes).
