Fig. 276. Hypothesized cladogram of "carangoid" fishes including main groups of Carangidae. Numbers opposite rectangles correspond to 

 characters discussed in text. Numbers in parentheses are estimated total number of species m taxon. Open rectangles are hypothesized to represent 

 plesiomorphic (phylogenetically primitive) character states and solid rectangles derived character states; characters indicated by barred rectangles 

 are hypothesized to have evolved more than once, and acquired independently in each lineage so marked; half-barred rectangles indicate that 

 both the primitive and derived character states occur in some component taxa of the lineage with the derived condition secondarily evolved.
