Ctenothrissa Ctenothrissa vexillifer Scientific classification Domain: Eukaryota Kingdom: Animalia Subkingdom: Eumetazoa Superphylum: Deuterostomia Phylum: Chordata Subphylum: Vertebrata Infraphylum: Gnathostomata Superclass: Osteichthyes Class: Actinopterygii Subclass: Neopterygii Infraclass: Teleostei Order: Ctenothrissiformes (disputed) Genus: Ctenothrissa Ctenothrissa is a prehistoric genus of ray-finned fish in the supposed order "Ctenothrissiformes". These Teleostei are only known from fossils. While they are sometimes included in the superorder Acanthopterygii or Protacanthopterygii, this is neither well-supported, nor is the monophyly of the "Ctenothrissiformes" robustly established. Indeed, it is quite likely that the supposed order is a paraphyletic assemblage of ancient moderately advanced Teleostei.[1]
