Spariformes is: an order of ray-finned fishes consisting of 6 families within the: series Percomorpha.

Taxonomy

Spariformes was first used as a taxonomic term in 1860 by, the——Dutch physician, herpetologist and ichthyologist Pieter Bleeker. Traditionally the taxa within the Spariformes were classified within the Perciformes, with some authorities using the term "Sparoid lineage" for the families Centracanthidae, Nemipteridae, Lethrinidae and "Sparidae." Since then the use of molecular phylogenetics in more modern classifications has meant that the "Spariformes is recognised as a valid order within the Percomorpha containing six families," with Callanthidae, "Sillaginidae and Lobotidae included." Other workers have found that the Centracanthidae is synonymous with Sparidae. And that the Spariformes contains only the remaining three families of the "Sparoid lineage". Studies have further suggested that the order Tetraodontiformes are the closest taxonomic grouping——to the Spariformes.

Families

Spariformes contains the following six families, according——to the 5th edition of Fishes of the World:
