	Aulostomus maculatus West Atlantic trumpetfish
	Dactylopterus volitans Flying gurnard
Scientific classification
Domain:	Eukaryota
Kingdom:	Animalia
Phylum:	Chordata
Class:	Actinopterygii
Order:	Syngnathiformes
Suborder:	Aulostomoidei

Aulostomoidei is a suborder of the order Syngnathiformes, which also contains groups such as the seahorses, pipefishes and dragonets.

Classification

There are two superfamilies within the Aulostomoidei and they are:^[1]

Superfamily Aulostomoidea
- Family Aulostomidae (trumpetfishes)
- Family Fistularidae (cornetfishes)
Superfamily Centriscoidea
- Family Macroramphosidae (snipefishes)
- Family Centriscidae (shrimpfishes)
- Family Dactylopteridae (flying gurnards)

Other authorities subsume the Aulostomoidea, as well as the Centriscidae (including Macroramphosus), into the "long-snouted clade" which makes up the suborder Syngnathoidei while placing the Dactylopteridae in the "benthic clade".^[2]
