This page shows the final groups resulting from the splits of Actinopterygii, the ray-finned fish. Smegmamorpha splits five ways. The two orders isolated by this split are Synbranchiformes and Mugiliformes. A family is also isolated by this split: Elassomatidae, the Everglades Pygmy Sunfish. The two other classifications resulting from this five-way split are Atherinomorpha and the Gasterosteiformes/Syngnathiformes group. The latter contains the two orders from which the group gets its name. Atherinomorpha contains three orders.
- Synbranchiformes - Swamp Eels, etc.
- Mugiliformes - Mullets
- Gasterosteiformes/Syngnathiformes group
- Gasterosteiformes - Sand Eels, etc.
- Syngnathiformes - Seahorses, Pipefishes, etc.
- Atherinomorpha
- Atheriniformes - Rainbowfishes, etc.
- Beloniformes - Flying Fishes, etc.
