They follow the oldest known living lineage of Sarcopterygii (lobe-finned fish and tetrapods), which means they are more closely related to lungfish, reptiles, and mammals than to the common ray-finned fishes.
腔棘鱼是一个罕见鱼类目,其包括现存的两种拉丁美洲属:西印度洋腔棘鱼(Latimeria chalumnae),主要发现于非洲东海岸科摩罗群岛附近和印度尼西亚腔棘鱼(Latimeria menadoensis)。这鱼类属于已知的最古老的肉鳍类(叶鳍鱼和四足动物)的生活谱系,这意味着它们与肺鱼、爬行动物和哺乳动物的关系比与普通的鱼鳍类更为密切。
