Howellidae

Description

Order Perciformes Family Howellidae

Prokofiev (2006) suggested that Howella, Pseudohowella and Bathysphyraenops should be placed in the family Howellidae, which contains three genera from the Percichthyidae and the Acropomatidae. Prokofiev (2007a,b) discussed the systematic position of the genus Howella and revised the diagnosis of the family Howellidae. According to Eschmeyer (2013), the family contains nine valid species.
