Setarchinae
Setarchinae, the deep-sea bristly scorpionfishes, is a small subfamily of deep-sea ray-finned fishes, it is part of the family Scorpaenidae. They are small marine fishes, growing up to 25 cm, and are found in tropical and subtropical waters throughout the world. Taxonomy Setarchinae, or the family Setarchidae, 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 name of the subfamily comes from ''Setarches'' which was described by the English zoologist James Yate Johnson in 1862 but Johnson did not explain what the name alluded to, it may be derived from ''saeta'' meaning "bristle".

Lioscorpius
''Lioscorpius''is a genus of marine ray-finned fish, belonging to the subfamily Setarchinae, the deep-sea bristly scorpionfishes, part of the family Scorpaenidae. They are native to the western Pacific Ocean. Taxonomy ''Lioscorpius''as formally described as a genus in 1880 by the German-born British ichthyologist Albert Günther when he described what was then its only species, ''L. longiceps'', from the Kai Islands in the Banda Sea in Indonesia. The genus name ''Lioscorpius'' is a compound of ''lio'', meaning "smooth", Gunther described the head of ''L. longiceps'' "with scarcely any ridges or spines", and ''scorpius'' which means "scorpion", indicating that this is a scorpionfish. Species There are currently two recognized species in this genus: * '' Lioscorpius longiceps'' Günther, 1880 (Slender scorpionfish) * '' Lioscorpius trifasciatus'' Last, Yearsley & Motomura, 2005 (Tripleband scorpionfish) Characteristics ''Lioscorpius'' scorpionfishes have a preorbital bone wh ...

Ectreposebastes
''Ectreposebastes'' is a genus of marine ray-finned fish, belonging to the subfamily Setarchinae, the deep-sea bristly scorpionfishes, part of the family Scorpaenidae. The genus is found in the Atlantic, Indian and Pacific Oceans. Taxonomy ''Ectreposebastes'' was first described as a monotypic genus in 1899 by the American ichthyologist Samuel German when he described what was then its only species, ''E. imus'', from the Galápagos Islands. The genus name ''Ectreposebastes'' is a compound of ''ectrepos'' which means “reversed”, German did not explain this, and ''Sebastes''. It may refer to the greater depth of the body with the back arching higher under the soft-rayed part of the dorsal fin, whereas in '' S. diploproa'' the species Garman cited for comparison purposes, the greatest body depth occurs under spiny part of the dorsal fin. Species There are currently two recognized species in this genus: * '' Ectreposebastes imus'' Garman, 1899 (Midwater scorpionfish) * '' Ect ...

Lythrichthys
''Lythrichthys'', the red deepwater scorpionfishes, is a genus of marine ray-finned fish, belonging to the subfamily Setarchinae, the deep-sea bristly scorpionfishes, part of the family Scorpaenidae. They are native to the Pacific Ocean. Taxonomy ''Lythrichthys'' was first described as a genus in 1904 by the American ichthyologists David Starr Jordan and Edwin Chapin Starks as a monotypic genus for ''Lythrichthys eulabes'' which they described with a type locality given as off Ose Point in Suruga Bay in Japan. ''L. eulabes'' was later placed in the genus '' Setarches'' and ''Lythrichthys'' became a synonym of that taxon. However, in 2021 Wada, Kai & Motomura resurrected the genus, added ''L. cypho'' (which had been treated as a synonym of''Setarches longimanus''), as well as ''L. longimanus'', and described two new species. This left the channelled rockfish (''Setarches guentheri'') as the only species in the now monotypic ''Setarches'' As of January 2022 this change has bee ...

Scorpaenidae
The Scorpaenidae (also known as scorpionfish) are a family of mostly marine fish that includes many of the world's most venomous species. As their name suggests, scorpionfish have a type of "sting" in the form of sharp spines coated with venomous mucus. The family is a large one, with hundreds of members. They are widespread in tropical and temperate seas but mostly found in the Indo-Pacific. They should not be confused with the cabezones, of the genus '' Scorpaenichthys'', which belong to a separate, though related, family, Cottidae. Taxonomy Scorpaenidae was described as a family in 1826 by the French naturalist Antoine Risso. The family is included in the suborder Scorpaenoidei of the order Scorpaeniformes in the 5th Edition of ''Fishes of the World'' but other authorities place it in the Perciformes either in the suborder Scorpaenoidei or the superfamily Scorpaenoidea. The subfamilies of this family are treated as valid families by some authorities. Subfamilies and trib ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Scorpaeniformes
The Scorpaeniformes are a diverse order of ray-finned fish, including the lionfishes and sculpins, but have also been called the Scleroparei. It is one of the five largest orders of bony fishes by number of species, with over 1,320. They are known as "mail-cheeked" fishes due to their distinguishing characteristic, the suborbital stay: a backwards extension of the third circumorbital bone (part of the lateral head/cheek skeleton, below the eye socket) across the cheek to the pre operculum, to which it is connected in most species. Scorpaeniform fishes are carnivorous, mostly feeding on crustaceans and on smaller fish. Most species live on the sea bottom in relatively shallow waters, although species are known from deep water, from the midwater, and even from fresh water. They typically have spiny heads, and rounded pectoral and caudal fins. Most species are less than in length, but the full size range of the order varies from the velvetfishes belonging to the family Aploactin ...

Scorpaenoidei
Scorpaenoidei is a suborder of ray-finned fishes, part of the order Scorpaeniformes, that includes the scorpionfishes, lionfishes and velvetfishes. This suborder is at its most diverse in the Pacific and Indian Oceans but is also found in the Atlantic Ocean. Taxonomy Scorpaenoidei was first named as a suborder in 1899 by the American ichthyologist Samuel Garman as a suborder of the Perciformes. Some authorities still treat the suborder as being part of the Perciformes but the 5th Edition of ''Fishes of the World'' recognises the Scorpaeniformes as a valid order and places this suborder within it. The subfamilies of the family Scorpaenidae are treated as families by some authors. It has been argued by some authors that the suborder is paraphyletic and that a more correct classification is that the grouping, with some differences, be placed on the superfamily Scorpaenoidea. Families and subfamilies The suborder Scorpaenoidei is classified into families and subfamilies in the 5th ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
