Harpagiferidae, the plunderfishes, are a family of marine perciform fishes native to the Southern Ocean.[1][2]
Taxonomy
The following subfamilies and genera are classified within it:[3]
- Family Harpagiferidae Gill, 1861
- Subfamily Harpagiferinae Gill, 1861 (spiny plunderfishes)
- Genus Harpagifer Richardson, 1844
- Subfamily Artedidraconinae Andriashev, 1967 (barbeled plunderfishes)
- Genus Artedidraco Lönnberg, 1905
- Genus Dolloidraco Roule, 1913
- Genus Histiodraco Regan, 1914
- Genus Pogonophryne Regan, 1914
- Subfamily Harpagiferinae Gill, 1861 (spiny plunderfishes)
In the past, Artedidraconinae was instead classified as its own family.[4] However, Eschmeyer's Catalog of Fishes presently considers it a subfamily of Harpagiferidae.[1]
