Classification

There are two superfamilies within the Aulostomoidei and they are:[1]

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]
