Callionymoidei
Sign in to saveCallionymoidei is a suborder of syngnathiform fish containing two families, the dragonets Callionymidae and the Draconettidae. In the past, this group was treated as either the suborder Callionymoidei of the wider Perciformes (now known to be a paraphyletic treatment), or as a distinct order Callionymiformes. Nelson (2016) recognised it as a distinct oder but subsequent workers have suggested that if Callionymiformes is recognised as an order then the order Syngnathiformes is rendered paraphyletic and include Callionmyoidei within that taxon. It is presently considered a suborder of Syngnathif
