Introduction
The family Synodontidae comprises two subfamilies. These two were treated as distinct families in Paxton et al. (1989). Other workers recognised three subfamilies (Nelson 1994). Baldwin & Johnson (1996) removed the Bathysaurinae, raising it to the familial level (Bathysauridae). Russell (1999) followed the work of Baldwin & Johnson (1996).
