Osteoglossiformes
Osteoglossiformes , meaning "bony tongues" in Ancient Greek, is a relatively primitive order of ray-finned fish that contains two sub-orders, the Osteoglossoidei and the Notopteroidei. All of at least 245 living species inhabit freshwater. They are found in South America, Africa, Australia and southern Asia, having first evolved in Gondwana before that continent broke up. In 2008, several new species of marine osteoglossiforms were described from the Danish Eocene Fur Formation, dramatically increasing the diversity of this group.

骨舌鱼目（学名：Osteoglossiformes）属于輻鰭魚綱骨舌鱼群或骨舌总目[1][2]，是几种大型的热带河鱼的统称。其鳔发达，富有血管，但鳔不与颅骨相连，除头部外，全身覆盖着大而坚硬的镶嵌状鳞。除异耳鱼科外，本目鱼均为肉食，基本生活在淡水中，也有的种类生活在淡咸水中。本科中最大的种类为南美的巨骨舌鱼，长可达约2.4米，重约91千克，体绿色，有淡红色尾鳍。 分类 共有6科[1]： 齒蝶魚科 Pantodontidae 骨舌鱼科 Osteoglossidae 弓背魚科 Notopteridae 象鼻魚科 Mormyridae 裸臀魚科 Gymnarchidae 巴西骨舌鱼科 Arapaimidae 此外，月眼魚科（Hiodontidae）有时也归类于这里，或者独立为月眼鱼目（Hiodontiformes），与骨舌鱼目一起组成骨舌鱼群[1]。 参考文献 ^ 1.0 1.1 1.2 Betancur-R, R., E.

Osteoglossiformes , meaning "bony tongues" in Ancient Greek, is a relatively primitive order of ray-finned fish that contains two sub-orders, the Osteoglossoidei and the Notopteroidei. All of at least 245 living species inhabit freshwater. They are found in South America, Africa, Australia and southern Asia, having first evolved in Gondwana before that continent broke up. In 2008, several new species of marine osteoglossiforms were described from the Danish Eocene Fur Formation, dramatically increasing the diversity of this group. This implies that the Osteoglossomorpha is not a primary freshwater fish group with the osteoglossiforms having a typical Gondwana distribution.
The Gymnarchidae (the only species being Gymnarchus niloticus, the African knifefish) and the Mormyridae are weakly electric fish able to sense their prey using electric fields.
