OBS

L'ordre des Amiiformes était autrefois très riche, et l'on en connaît de nombreuses formes fossiles remontant au permien, c'est-à-dire à la fin de l'ère primaire, découvertes aussi bien dans le Nouveau Monde que dans l'Ancien. Certains considèrent cet ordre comme suffisamment original pour former une sous-classe de la classe des Ostéichthyens, celle des Holostéens.
