Acanthuriformes is an order of ray-finned fishes, part of the Percomorpha clade. Some authorities place the fishes in the order within the Acanthuriformes in the suborders Acanthuroidea and Percoidea of the order Perciformes.

Classification[edit]

The Acanthuriformes as defined in the 5th edition of Fishes of the World is set out as follows: [2][3]

Other authorities do not include the Scianoidei within the Acanthuriformes and place the two families included in that suborder as incertae sedis in the Eupercaria.[5]
