Neosebastes
''Neosebastes'' is a genus of marine ray-finned fishes, belonging to the subfamily Neosebastinae, the gurnard scorpionfishes, part of the family Scorpaenidae. These fishes are found in the Indian and Pacific Ocean. Taxonomy Neosebastes was first described as a genus in 1867 by the French zoologist Alphonse Guichenot. In 1876 Pieter Bleeker designated Scorpaena panda, which had been described by John Richardson in 1842 from Cockburn Sound in Western Australia, as the type species of the genus. The genus name is a compound of ''neo'' meaning "new" and ''Sebastes'', as, when he coined the name, Guichenot thought that the new genus was closely related to or was a subgenus of the genus ''Sebastes''. Species There are currently 12 recognized species in this genus: * ''Neosebastes bougainvillii'' ( G. Cuvier, 1829) (Gulf gurnard perch) * ''Neosebastes capricornis'' Motomura, 2004 (Capricorn gurnard perch) * ''Neosebastes entaxis'' D. S. Jordan & Starks, 1904 (Oriental gurnard perc ...

Neosebastinae
Neosebastinae, the gurnard scorpionfishes or gurnard perches, is a small subfamily of deep-sea ray-finned fishes, it is part of the family Scorpaenidae. These fishes are found in the Indian and Pacific oceans. Several of the species in this family are venomous. Taxonomy Neosebastinae, or the family Neosebastidae, were first described as a taxon by the Japanese ichthyologist Kiyomatsu Matsubara in 1943. The grouping is treated as a subfamily of the Scorpaenidae within the order Scorpaeniformes by the 5th Edition of ''Fishes of the World''. However, other authorities, such as FishBase, regard the taxon as a family within the suborder Scorpaenoidei, part of the Perciformes. The family name is derived from the genus name ''Neosebastes'' which is a compound of ''neo'' meaning "new" and ''Sebastes'', as, when he coined the name, Alphonse Guichenot thought that the new genus was closely related to or was a subgenus of the genus '' Sebastes''.
