Scientific classification

| Kingdom: | Animalia |
| Phylum: | Chordata |
| Class: | Actinopterygii |
| Order: | Syngnathiformes |
| Suborder: | Aulostomoidei |
Aulostomoidei is a suborder of the order Syngnathiformes, which also contains groups such as the seahorses, pipefishes and dragonets.
Classification
There are two superfamilies within the Aulostomoidei and they are:[1]
- Superfamily Aulostomoidea
- Family Aulostomidae (trumpetfishes)
- Family Fistularidae (cornetfishes)
- Superfamily Centriscoidea
- Family Macroramphosidae (snipefishes)
- Family Centriscidae (shrimpfishes)
- Family Dactylopteridae (flying gurnards)
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]
