Exocoetoidei

Yellowtip halfbeak Hemirhamphus marginatus, copyright John E. Randall.

Belongs within: Atherinomorpha.
Contains: Belonidae, Exocoetidae.

The Exocoetoidei are a group of fishes in which the lower jaw is elongate for at least part of the life history. Members of the suborder also possess a plate-like process on the posterioventral part of the basioccipital, one nasal opening on each side of the head, a median lower pharyngeal tooth plate, and more than three anterior branchiostegals (Bond 1996).

Gobiomorpharia

Blackmouth bass Synagrops bellus, copyright NOAA.

Belongs within: Acanthomorphata.
Contains: Eleotridae, Butidae, Gobionellidae, Gobiidae, Amia, Apogoninae.

The Gobiomorpharia are a diverse clade of fishes united by the presence of sensory papillae rows on the head and body, and by the production of adhesive eggs (Thacker 2009). In the nurseryfish Kurtus gulliveri, these eggs are attached in a cluster to a hook protruding from the supraoccipital of males.
