Phylogeny of an unnamed clade of Percomorpha as resulting from an analysis of acanthomorph teleosts (inset phylogeny with the unnamed clade highlighted in red), inferred from a partitioned maximum-likelihood analysis of DNA sequences of 10 nuclear genes. Filled black circles identify clades supported with a bootstrap score of 100%, filled grey circles identify clades with a bootstrap score between 99% and 90%, and unfilled white circles identify clades with a bootstrap score between 89% and 70%. Polytypic and polygeneric higher-level taxonomic groups are labeled. The clades Acanthomorpha and Percomorpha are identified in the inset tree with filled black circles.
