Description

Family † Pycnodontidae Agassiz 1833

†Pycnodontae Agassiz 1832: 141 (family) † Pycnodus Agassiz 1833 [no valid type genus, not available, Art. 11.7.1.1]

† Pycnodontes Agassiz 1833 Tome I: 2, 15 (family) † Pycnodus Agassiz 1833 [latinized to † Pycnodontidae by Bonaparte 1845: 387, by Owen 1846: 50 and by Günther 1880: 366, latinized to † Pycnodontes by Giebel 1846: 156 and Giebel 1847: 158, latinized to †Pycnodonti by M’Coy in Sedgwick & M’Coy 1855: 579; considered valid with this authorship by Müller 1846: 151, by Bronn 1849: 665, by Cope 1877a: 57, by Quenstedt 1885: 325, by Gardiner 1993b: 618 and by Kriwet 1999: 217 Art. 11.7.2]

† Nursalliidae Blot 1987: 119 (family) † Nursallia Blot 1987 [family name sometimes seen as † Nursallidae; correct stem is Nursalli-]

†Tepexichthyinae Applegate 2001b: 3 (subfamily) † Tepexichthys Applegate 1992 [unavailable publication, family-group name not available]

†Nahuaichthyinae Applegate 2001b: 3 (subfamily)? [unavailable publication, family-group name not available]

†Huehueichthyinae Applegate 2001b: 3 (subfamily)? [unavailable publication, family-group name not available]

†Proscinetinae Poyato-Ariza & Wenz 2002: 221 (subfamily) † Proscinetes Gistel 1848 [curiously as “new rank”; subfamily name also seen as †Proscinitinae]

†Turboscinetinae Ebert 2016: 18 (subfamily)? † Turboscinetes Ebert 2016 [incorrectly (?) cited with type genus † Proscinetes Gistel 1848; unneeded family-group name if † Proscinetes Gistel 1848 is also included in the clade]
