Dinematichthyini
Dinematichthyini is a tribe of viviparous brotulas, which is conventionally placed within the subfamily Brosmophycinae. They are differentiated from the other tribe within that subfamily, the Brosmophycinae , by having a single pair of ossified genital claspers, having an absence or greatly reduced scales on the head and having the posterior end of the maxillary bone showing a small amount of vertical expansion. A review of the viviparous brotulas carried out in 2016 elevated the tribe to a family, the Dinematichthyidae. Abstract Genera The following genera are included in the tribe Dinematichthyini: * ''Alionematichthys'' * ''Beaglichthys'' * ''Brosmolus'' * ''Brotulinella'' * ''Dactylosurculus'' * ''Dermatopsis'' * ''Dermatopsoides'' * '' Diancistrus'' * ''Didymothallus'' * ''Dinematichthys'' * ''Dipulus'' * ''Gunterichthys'' * ''Lapitaichthys'' * '' Majungaichthys'' * '' Mascarenichthys'' * ''Monothrix'' * '' Nielsenichthys'' * ''Ogilbia'' * '' Ogilbichthys'' * ''Paradiancist ...

Brosmophycinae
Brosmophycinae is a subfamily of the viviparous brotulas. They are divided from the subfamily Bythitinae by having the dorsal fin, caudal fin and anal fin all separate whereas they are joined in the Bythitinae. It is divided into the tribes Dinematichthyini and Brosmophycini, with the first having hardened genital claspers and the second soft genital claspers. A review in 2016 elevated the Dinematichthyini to the status of a family Family (from la, familia) is a Social group, group of people related either by consanguinity (by recognized birth) or Affinity (law), affinity (by marriage or other relationship).
