     However, the peculiar Grammicolepididae may be rather closely allied to the Oreosomatidae, and the spikes or hooks seen on the sides of some grammicolepidids (see especially Barnard, 1940, p. 11 and plate, on Xenolepidichthys americanus in South Africa) may be the homologues of the "hills" of Oreosoma.

   • 2004, Jeffrey M. Leis, Brooke M. Carson-Ewart, The Larvae of Indo-Pacific Coastal Fishes: An Identification Guide to Marine Fish Larvae, page 681:

     Only zanclids, caproids, luvarids, menids, grammicolepidids and perhaps siganids and leiognathids have larvae that could be confused with acanthurids.

     Grammicolepidids have dorsoventrally elongate linear scales rather than the cycloid or ctenoid scales of other zeiform families.
