After Carroll, 1988 and Nelson, 1994, with Recent species from Froese & Pauly, 2001 [“The Fishbase”]
Note:
There appears to be some kind of problem in this taxon. Nelson (1994) tentatively recognizes it. To his view it contains two families, Coracinidae and Drepanidae [Drepaneidae].
FishBase doesn't recognize family Coracinidae at all, and lists nominal genus Coracinus as a junior synonym of genus Dichistius, thus also naming family Coracinidae as being actually family Dichistiidae
