 | | The longfin escolar Scombrolabrax heterolepsis, also known as the fl mackerel,is a widespread but uncommon deep sea fish that presents some difficulties for taxonomy. |
| | It is placed in its own family Scombrolabracidae, but the family's placement in the suborders of Perciformes has included Scombroidei, Percoidei, and Trichiuiroidei, while some authorsplace it in its own suborder Scombrolabracoidei. |
| | The fish bears some resemblance to members of Gempylidae, but has protrusible premaxilla, serrated opercle and preopercle, and a spur on the lowestprincipal caudal ray, all of which are characteristic of percoids. |
