The superorder Elopomorpha contains a variety of types of fishes that range from typical silvery-colored species, such as the tarpons and ladyfishes of the [[Elopiformes]] and the bonefishes of the [[Albuliformes]], to the long and slender, smooth-bodied eels of the [[Anguilliformes]]. The one characteristic uniting this group of fishes is they all have [[leptocephalus]] larvae, which are unique to the Elopomorpha. No other fishes have this type of larvae.
