Acanthuriformes is an order of ray-finned fishes, part of the Percomorpha clade. Some authorities place the fishes in the order within the Acanthuriformes in the suborders Acanthuroidea and Percoidea of the order Perciformes.
Classification
[edit]The Acanthuriformes as defined in the 5th edition of Fishes of the World is set out as follows: [2][3]
- Order Acanthuriformes
- Suborder Sciaenoidei Gill, 1872
- Family Emmelichthyidae Poey, 1867 (Rovers)
- Family Sciaenidae Cuvier, 1829 (Drums)
- Suborder Acanthuroidei Greenwood et al, 1966[4]
- Family Luvaridae Gill, 1885 (Luvar)
- Family Zanclidae Bleeker, 1876 (Moorish angels)
- †Family Acanthonemidae Bannikov, 1991
- †Family Massalongiidae Tyler & Bannikov, 2005
- Family Acanthuridae Bonaparte, 1835 (Surgeonfishes)
- Subfamily Nasinae Fowler & Bean, 1929
- Subfamily Acanthurinae Bonaparte, 1835
- Tribe Prionurini J.L.B. Smith, 1966
- Tribe Zebrasomini Winterbottom, 1993
- Tribe Acanthurini Bonaparte, 1835
- Suborder Sciaenoidei Gill, 1872
Other authorities do not include the Scianoidei within the Acanthuriformes and place the two families included in that suborder as incertae sedis in the Eupercaria.[5]
