Scorpaeninae
Scorpaeninae is a subfamily of ray-finned fish belonging to the family Scorpaenidae in the order Scorpaeniformes, it includes the scorpionfishes, the lionfishes and turkeyfishes. They bear venomous spines in the anal, dorsal and pelvic fins which can cause severe pain in envenomated humans. The subfamily is distributed in the tropical and temperate seas around the world. Genera Scorpaeninae is divided into two tribes, the Scorpaenini, which contains 17 genera, and the Pteroini which contains 5 genera: * Scorpaenini Risso, 1826 ** '' Hipposcorpaena'' Fowler, 1938 ** '' Hoplosebastes'' Schmidt, 1929 ** '' Idiastion'' Eschmeyer, 1965 ** '' Iracundus'' Jordan & Evermann, 1903 ** '' Neomerinthe'' Fowler, 1935 ** '' Neoscorpaena'' Mandrytsa, 2001 ** '' Parascorpaena'' Bleeker, 1876 ** '' Phenacoscorpius'' Fowler, 1938 ** '' Pogonoscorpius'' Regan, 1908 ** '' Pontinus'' Poey 1860 ** '' Pteroidichthys'' Bleeker, 1856 ** '' Rhinopias'' Gill, 1905 ** '' Scorpaena'' Linnaeus, 1758 ...

Scorpaenini
Scorpaenini is a tribe of marine ray-finned fishes, one of two tribes in the subfamily Scorpaeninae. This tribe contains the "typical" or "true" scorpionfishes. The taxonomy of the scorpionfishes is in some flux, the 5th Edition of Fishes of the World treats this taxa as a tribe within the subfamily Scorpaeninae of the family Scorpaenidae within the order Scorpaeniformes, while other authorities treat it as a subfamily within a reduced family Scorpaenidae within the suborder Scorpaenoidei, or the superfamily Scorpaenoidea within the order Perciformes. Genera The tribe Scorpaenini contains at least 17 genera and nearly 200 species: * '' Hipposcorpaena'' Fowler, 1938 * '' Hoplosebastes'' Schmidt, 1929 * '' Idiastion'' Eschmeyer, 1965 * '' Iracundus'' Jordan & Evermann, 1903 * '' Neomerinthe'' Fowler, 1935 * '' Neoscorpaena'' Mandrytsa, 2001 * '' Parascorpaena'' Bleeker, 1876 * '' Phenacoscorpius'' Fowler, 1938 * '' Pogonoscorpius'' Regan, 1908 * '' Pontinus'' Poey 186 ...

Black Scorpionfish
The black scorpionfish (''Scorpaena porcus''), also known as the European scorpionfish or small-scaled scorpionfish, is a venomous scorpionfish, common in marine subtropical waters. It is widespread in the Eastern Atlantic Ocean from the British Isles to the Azores and Canary Islands, near the coasts of Morocco, in the Mediterranean Sea and the Black Sea. Taxonomy The black scorpionfish was first formally described in 1758 by Carl Linnaeus in the 10th edition of his ''Systema Naturae'' in which he gave the type localities as the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean. Linnaeus also described the genus ''Scorpaena'' and in 1876 the Dutch ichthyologist Pieter Bleeker designated ''S. porcus'' as the type species of the genus ''Scorpaena''. The specific name ''porcus'' means "pig", an allusion which Linnaeus did not explain. However, it may reference the belief, originating with Athenaeus who said that he observed this species eating algae or weed and this was mistranslated in th ...

Neomerinthe
''Neomerinthe'' is a genus of marine ray-finned fish belonging to the family Scorpaenidae, the scorpionfishes. They are found in Atlantic, Indian and Pacific Ocean. Taxonomy ''Neomerinthe'' was first described as a genus in 1935 by the American ichthyologist Henry Weed Fowler, Fowler was describing ''N. hemingwayi'', with a type locality given as off Cape May, New Jersey, which he designated as the type species of a new genus. The genus name is a compound of ''neo'', meaning ''new'', and ''Merinthe'', a synonym of the genus ''Pontinus'', which Fowler thought ''N. hemingwayi'' resembled. Species ''Neomerinthe'' has 12 species classified within it: * '' Neomerinthe amplisquamiceps'' ( Fowler, 1938) (Orange scorpionfish) * '' Neomerinthe bauchotae'' Poss & Duhamel, 1991 * '' Neomerinthe beanorum'' ( Evermann & M. C. Marsh, 1900) * '' Neomerinthe costata'' * '' Neomerinthe erostris'' (Alcock, 1896) (Round scorpionfish) Motomura, H., Causse, R., Béarez, P. & Mishra, S.S. (20 ...

Sebastapistes
''Sebastapistes'' is a genus of marine ray-finned fish belonging to the family Scorpaenidae, the scorpionfishes. The fishes in this genus are found in the Indian and Pacific Ocean. Taxonomy ''Sebastapistes'' was first described as a genus in 1877 by the American ichthyologist Theodore Gill, Gill included 3 species within the new genus and in 1898 David Starr Jordan and Barton Warren Evermann designated ''Scorpaena strongia'' which had been described by Georges Cuvier Jean Léopold Nicolas Frédéric, baron Cuvier (23 August 1769 – 13 May 1832), known as Georges Cuvier (; ), was a French natural history, naturalist and zoology, zoologist, sometimes referred to as the "founding father of paleontology". Cuv ... in 1829 with its Type locality (biology), type locality given as Kosrae in the Caroline Islands, as the type species. This genus is classified within the Tribe (biology), tribe Scorpaenini, in the subfamily Scorpaeninae of the family Scorpaenidae. The etymology of th ...
