It is known from two species, F. veronensis Blot, 1980 and F. phyllolepis Blot, 1980 from the Monte Bolca site of Italy. left|thumb|Closeup of skull As its name suggests, it superficially resembled and was related to the cornetfishes, though it belonged to its own extinct family, the Fistularioididae. It is one of two known genera from this family, alongside Pseudosyngnathus from the same locality.
