In recent times{{when|date=March 2022}}, this family has been proposed to be split. The two hypothetical families emerging from the remains of the possibly-obsolete taxon are the families Epinephilidae and Anthiadidae. This taxonomic separation is recognized by some authorities{{who|date=March 2022}}, including the IUCN.<ref>{{cite web|url= https://www.iucnredlist.org/search?taxonomies=18061892&searchType=species | title=IUCN red list taxonomies.}}</ref>
Recent{{when|date=March 2022}} molecular classifications challenge the validity of the genera ''[[Cromileptes]]'' (sometimes spelled ''[[Chromileptes]]'') and ''[[Anyperodon]]''. Each of these two genera has a single species, which were included in the same clade as species of ''[[Epinephelus]]'' in a study based on five different genes.<ref>{{cite journal | last1 = Schoelinck | first1 = C. | last2 = Hinsinger | first2 = D.
