Comments: No analyses to date have attempted to include simultaneously both fossil and extant species; however, species represented by well-preserved specimens are promising for such combined analyses (e.g., † Para- sphyraena apscheronica Switchenska, 1968 and † Sphyraena bolcensis Agassiz, 1843 ). Contrary to Santini et al. (2015), † Sphyraena bolcensis Agassiz, 1843 has never been suggested to be a stem sphyraenid, basically because its position among shyraenids has never been assessed.
