Taxonomy Kilias (1962:12) considered the family Tonnidae to be composed of a single genus Tonna Brünnich, 1771, with three subgenera: Eudolium Dall, 1889; Malea Valenciennes, 1832 and Tonna (s.s.) Brünnich, 1771. Based on his determination key (1962:12), he assimilates the genus Parvitonna Iredale, 1931 to Eudolium Dall, 1889. [details]
