The fossil genus ''[[Ioscion]]'' may be either a drumfish or belong to its own family more closely related to [[Carangidae|carangids]].<ref name=":1" /><ref>{{Cite book |last=California Academy of Sciences |url=https://archive.org/details/occasionalpaper00calif/occasionalpaper00calif/ |title=Occasional papers of the California Academy of Sciences |date=1890 |publisher=San Francisco : California Academy of Sciences |others=California Academy of Sciences}}</ref>

The former [[Paratethys|Paratethys Sea]] appears to have been a hotspot of endemism for many of these extinct sciaenid taxa, as many articulated remains and otoliths are known from this region.''<ref name=":2" />''
