Abstract
The monophyly of the halecomorph fishes Caturidae and their position among the Halecomorphi is tested. Using Watsonulus as outgroup; two monophyletic groups; Furo as the sister-group of the Ophiopsidae and Amblysemius + Caturus as the sister-group of the the Amiiformes; are recognized. The Ionoscopidae are the most primitive taxon above Watsonulus.
