		Since veliferids are the basal sister group to the Lamprididae (plus all other lampridiforms), it appears that an early important event in the evolution of the lampridiform lineage was the invasion and subsequent adaptation of veliferid-like progeny to pelagic life in the deep ocean.
		Examples of most lampridiform families are rarely seen alive, and distribution records usually result from dead or dying animals that become stranded on beaches or are observed injured or disoriented at the sea surface.
		Lampridiform fishes, especially the large, elongate species, attract considerable public attention when they are stranded or beached, owing to their rarity and unusual morphological features.

	Lampridiformes
		The Lampridiformes are include about 50 living species of deep sea fishes, including the opahs, crestfish, ribbonfishes, and oarfish.
		These are acanthomorph teleosts which diverged at the end of the Cretaceous or in the succeeding Paleocene period, 60-70 million years ago.
		Lampridiformes have a highly variable body form, but they are usually deep-bodied or elongate.

	Lampridiformes
		Lampridiformes is a order of ray-finned fish that includes about 50 living species of deep sea fishes, including the opahs, crestfish, ribbonfishes, and oarfish.
		Lampridiforms have a highly variable body form, but they are usually deep-bodied or elongate.
		The lampridiforms have 84-96 total vertebrae, but lack fin spines.

		The order Lampridiformes is a unique group of modern fishes with a wide range of body plans.
		Although preparation of the fossil failed to reveal any of the diagnostic features in question, the bones of the front of the skull are consistent with the strange form of the upper jaw that is so characteristic of this order.
		Furthermore, many parts of the fossil, such as a large crest with an ornamental ridge and the plate-like bones that cover the gills, are very similar to equivalent structures in specimens of modern lampridiforms that were examined.

		A new genus and species of fossil moonfish (Teleostei, Lampridiformes, Lamprididae) is reported on the basis of a large, partially articulated skeleton from North Otago, New Zealand.
		The new form has a greatly enlarged cleithrum, which is associated with the specialized pectoral swimming characteristic of lampridids, demonstrating that this distinctive locomotory mode, along with impressively large body size, evolved in lampridids at least as early as the Oligocene.
		This is the first Southern Hemisphere report for a fossil lampridiform.

		Though no synapomorphic characters are observed that definitively place the specimen within the order Lampridiformes, features of the anterior portions of the skull suggest that a lampridiform synapomorphy may have been present in life.
		This feature, combined with numerous similarities of uncertain polarity found in both the fossil and recognized lampridiform taxa, suggests that cautious placement of the specimen within the order Lampridiformes is warranted.
		Given the pelagic habit of all extant members of the Lampridiformes, as well as a billfish fossil from the same locality, it seems likely that the Mancora formation was deposited in a deep-water, offshore environment.

	Acanthomorpha
		Acanthomorphs are found in most aquatic habitats available to fishes, from the abyssal plains of the ocean basins to mountain streams, desert springs, and caves.
		Size ranges from some of the longest (17 meters, the lampridiform, Regalecus glesne) and most massive (>3000 kilograms, the tetraodontiform, Mola mola) bony fishes to the smallest of all vertebrates (7-8mm, the gobiod, Schindleria).
		Subsequently, the monophyly of the group has been corroborated with morphological characters by Stiassny (1986), Hartel and Stiassny (1986), and Johnson and Patterson (1993), whereas the monophyly of the two subgroups has been refuted.

	IngentaConnect Major patterns of higher teleostean phylogenies: a new perspectiv... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		All major, comprehensive groups above ordinal level as currently defined in higher teleosts (with the exception of the Neoteleostei and several monotypic groups), such as the Eurypterygii, Ctenosquamata, Acanthomorpha, Paracanthopterygii, Acanthopterygii, and Percomorpha, appeared to be nonmonophyletic in the present tree.
		Such incongruities largely resulted from differences in the placement and/or limits of the orders Ateleopodiformes, Lampridiformes, Polymixiiformes, Ophidiiformes, Lophiiformes, Beryciformes, Stephanoberyciformes, and Zeiformes, long-standing problematic taxa in systematic ichthyology.
		Of these, the resulting phylogenetic positions of the Ophidiiformes and Lophiiformes were totally unexpected, because, although they have consistently been considered relatively primitive groups within higher teleosts (Paracanthopterygii), they were confidently placed within a crown group of teleosts, herein called the Percomorpha.

	Acanthopterygii
		Rosen (1985) and Stiassny (1986) removed the Polymixiiformes (beardfishes) from Acanthopterygii to the base below Paracanthopterygii, and Stiassny and Moore (1992) suggested that the Lampridiformes (oarfishes and allies) might also be basal.
		In their new proposal of acanthomorph relationships Johnson and Patterson (1993) corroborated both of these hypotheses and thus redefined the Acanthopterygii, placing Polymixiiformes and Lampridiformes as sequential sister groups to the remaining acanthomorphs (Paracanthopterygii+Acanthopterygii, their Holacanthopterygii).
		The basal placement of polymixiiforms and lampridiforms has subsequently been supported in DNA studies (e.g., Wiley et al., 2000; Miya et al., 2001, 2003, 2005).
