Osteoglossomorpha (1998 words)
The systematic position of the Osteoglossomorpha has long been debated.
Greenwood (1973) suggested a sister-group relationship between Osteoglossomorpha and Clupeomorpha, whereas Patterson and Rosen (1977), Lauder and Liem (1983), and J. Nelson (1994) considered Osteoglossomorpha to be the most primitive living teleosts.
Arratia (1991) argued that elopomorphs are sister to osteoglossomorphs plus all other teleosts.
