Cottoidei is a suborder of ray-finned fishes which, according to the 5th edition of Fishes of the World, is placed within the order Scorpaeniformes, alongside the scorpionfishes, flatheads, eelpouts, sticklebacks and related fishes.

Taxonomy

Cottoidei was first proposed as a taxonomic grouping in 1835 by the Swiss-American zoologist Louis Agassiz.[1] The 5th edition of Fishes of the World classifies the Cottoidei as a suborder of the order Scorpaeniformes.[2] Other workers have found that if the Scorpaeniformes, as delimited in Fishes of the World, is not included in the Perciformes it renders the Perciformes paraphyletic. These workers retain the Cottoidei as a suborder within the Perciformes but include the zoarcoids and Sticklebacks and allies as the infraorders Zoarcales and Gasterosteales while reclassifying most the superfamilies of Fishes of the World as infraorders.[3]

Subdivisions

The Cottoidei is divided into the following superfamilies and families:[2][4]

  • Superfamily Anoplopomatoidea Quast, 1965[5]
  • Superfamily Zaniolepidoidea Shinohara, 1994[6]
  • Superfamily Hexagrammoidea Shinohara, 1994[6]
  • Superfamily Trichodontoidea Nazarkin & Voskoboinikova, 2000[7]
  • Superfamily Cottoidea Gill, 1889[8]
    • Family Jordaniidae Jordan & Evermann, 1898 (Longfin sculpins)
    • Family Rhamphocottidae Jordan & Gilbert, 1883 (Grunt sculpins)
    • Family Scorpaenichthyidae Jordan & Evermann, 1898
    • Family Agonidae Swainson, 1839 (Poachers and sea ravens)
    • Family Cottidae Bonaparte, 1831 (Sculpins)
    • Family Psychrolutidae Günther, 1861 (Bighead sculpins)
    • Family Bathylutichthyidae Balushkin & Voskoboinikova, 1990 (Antarctic sculpins)
  • Superfamily Cyclopteroidea Gill, 1873[9]
