The Halecostomi are a group of bony fish within the ray fins . Originally it comprised two families of original, extinct real bony fish (Teleostei), the Pholidophoridae and Oligopleuridae . In the modern, kladistisch embossed Scheme they form, as in the following Kladogramm shown, the common group from Kahl Hecht-like (Amiiformes) and genuine bony fish, that include a much larger number of subtaxa a.

Molecular genetic analyzes of the relationships between the ray fins, however, have shown that the bald pike ( Amia calva ) is more closely related to the bonefish (Lepisosteidae) than to the real bonefish. The name Holostei (bone organoids) , which is also already used in the classical system, is used for this common grouping of the bald and boned pike . Should this group exist in future analyzes, the name Halecostomi would become obsolete.
The result of the molecular analyzes was confirmed by a comparative study of the skeletal anatomy of original new fins (Neopterygii) including fossil taxa.
