The new subfamily of carangid fishes
... It is customary to distinguish in the family Carangidae four modern subfamilies [Seriolinae (=Naucratinae), Trachinotinae, Scomberoidinae and Caranginae: Bannikov, 1987Bannikov, , 1990Bannikov, , 2010, or four tribes (Naucratini, Trachinotini, Scomberoidini, and Carangini: Smith-Vaniz, 1984;Reed et al., 2002;Santini and Carnevale, 2015), as well as the Eocene subfamily Vomeropsinae (Bannikov, 1984(Bannikov, , 1987 and tribe Paratrachinotini (Springer and Smith-Vaniz, 2008). The monophyly of the three modern subfamilies is supported by molecular data (Reed et al., 2002;Jose et al., 2022), and they are grouped as (Trachinotinae + (Caranginae + Seriolinae)) (Jose et al., 2022); the monophyly of Scomberoidinae remains questionable, but perhaps this clade is a sister of Trachinotinae (Reed et al., 2002). ...
A new species of horse mackerel fish (Carangidae), Archaeus solus sp. nov., was described based on the imprint of a complete skeleton from the Lower Oligocene (Pshekha Formation) of Gorny Luch locality. This is the third known species of the Eocene–Oligocene genus Archaeus Agassiz, 1844, and the first discovery of Carangidae in the Oligocene of the North Caucasus. The new species differs from A. glarisianus Agassiz, 1844 from the Rupelian of Switzerland and A. oblongus Daniltshenko, 1968 from the basal Eocene of Turkmenistan by a larger number of rays in both the spiny and soft dorsal fin.

The nowadays hyper-diverse clade of Actinopterygii (ray-finned bony fishes) is characterized by a long evolutionary history and an extremely rich global fossil record. This work builds upon 170 years of research on the fossil record of this clade in Greece. The taxonomy and spatiotemporal distribution of the ray-finned fish record of Greece are critically revisited and placed in an updated systematic and stratigraphic framework, while some new fossil data and interpretations are also provided. Greece hosts diverse ray-finned fish assemblages, which range in age from Lower Jurassic to Quaternary. Most known assemblages are of Miocene–Pliocene age and of marine affinities. A minimum of 32 families, followed by at least 34 genera and 22 species, have been recognized in Greece. From originally two named genera and seven species, only two fossil species, established on Greek material, are accepted as valid. Additional taxonomic diversity is anticipated, pending detailed investigations. From a taxonomic perspective, previous knowledge lies on preliminary or authoritative assessments of fossils, with many decades-old treatments needing revision. Little is known about Mesozoic–early Cenozoic occurrences or freshwater assemblages. Given the proven potential of the Greek fossil record, this chapter stresses the need for additional exploration and the establishment of permanent, curated collections of fossil fishes in Greek institutions. Directions for future research are discussed.
The family Carangidae (order Perciformes, suborder Percoidei) has five subfamilies: Seriolinae, Caranginae, Scomberoidinae, Trachinotinae and Vomeropsinae. An attempt is made to determine the generic composition. Fossil genera are included in the subfamilies. The possible origin of the carangid fishes is examined.
