Family:	Bythitidae
Subfamily:	Brosmophycinae
Tribe:	Dinematichthyini; Cohen and Nielsen, 1978

Dinematichthyini is a tribe of viviparous brotulas, which is conventionally placed within the subfamily Brosmophycinae. They are differentiated from the other tribe within that subfamily, the Brosmophycinae, by having a single pair of ossified genital claspers, having an absence or greatly reduced scales on the head and having the posterior end of the maxillary bone showing a small amount of vertical expansion.^[1] A review of the viviparous brotulas carried out in 2016 elevated the tribe to a family, the Dinematichthyidae.^[2]
