Aulostomoidei is a superfamily of the order Syngnathiformes, which also contains groups such as the seahorses, pipefishes and dragonets. It is one of two superfamilies which make up the suborder Aulostomoidei within the Syngnathiformes.

Families

There are two families within the Aulostomoidea and they are:[1]

These extinct families are also known:[2][3]

Other authorities subsume the Aulostomoidea into the "long-snouted clade" which makes up the suborder Syngnathoidei .[4]
