Diagnosis.
Members of this clade can be diagnosed by the following not uniquely derived and/or reversed features: (1) absence of an epiotic process [3-3]; (2) absence of a notch on dentary [16-0]; (3) gonactinost complex approximately perpendicular to body longitudinal axis [68-1]; (4) absence of an anterior convex expansion of second gonactinost [70-1]; (5) R6a and R6p not fused [126-0]; (6) more distal elements of R6 branches not fused [127-0]; and (7) less than nine caudal-fin rays in contact with the hypural plate [132-0].
