Taxonomy
These
Teleostei are only known from
fossils. While they are sometimes included in the
superorder
Order ( la, ordo) is one of the eight major hierarchical taxonomic ranks in Linnaean taxonomy. It is classified between family and class. In biological classification, the order is a taxonomic rank used in the classification of organisms and ...
Acanthopterygii or
Protacanthopterygii, this is neither well-supported, nor is the
monophyly of the "Ctenothrissiformes" robustly established. Indeed, it is quite likely that the supposed order is a
paraphyletic
In taxonomy (general), taxonomy, a group is paraphyletic if it consists of the group's most recent common ancestor, last common ancestor and most of its descendants, excluding a few Monophyly, monophyletic subgroups. The group is said to be pa ...
