Longfin Baikal Sculpin
The longfins, also known as roundheads or spiny basslets, are a family, Plesiopidae, which were formerly placed in the order Perciformes but are now regarded as being '' incertae sedis'' in the subseries Ovalentaria in the clade Percomorpha. They are elongated fishes, found in the Indian Ocean and western Pacific Ocean. Classification In some classifications, the genus '' Notograptus'' is split in its own family, Notograptidae, but FishBase is followed here. There are two subfamilies within the Plesiopidae and the genera are as follows: *Subfamily Acanthoclininae Günther, 1861 ** Genus '' Acanthoclinus'' Jenyns, 1841 ** Genus ''Acanthoplesiops'' Regan, 1912 ** Genus '' Beliops'' Hardy, 1985 ** Genus '' Belonepterygion'' McCulloch, 1915 ** Genus '' Notograptus'' Günther, 1867 * Subfamily Plesiopinae Günther, 1861 ** Genus ''Assessor'' Whitley, 1935 ** Genus '' Calloplesiops'' Fowler and Bean, 1930 ** Genus ''Fraudella'' Whitley, 1935 ** ...

Subfamily
In biological classification, a subfamily (Latin: ', plural ') is an auxiliary (intermediate) taxonomic rank, next below family but more inclusive than genus. Standard nomenclature rules end subfamily botanical names with "-oideae", and zoological names with "-inae". See also * International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants * International Code of Zoological Nomenclature * Rank (botany) * Rank (zoology) In biological classification, taxonomic rank is the relative level of a group of organisms (a taxon) in an ancestral or hereditary hierarchy. A common system consists of species, genus, family, order, class, phylum, kingdom, domain. While ... Sources {{biology-stub ...
