Trachyscorpia
''Trachyscorpia'' is a genus of marine ray-finned fish belonging to the subfamily Sebastinae, the rockfishes, part of the family Scorpaenidae. The species in this genus are found in the Atlantic, Indian and Pacific oceans. Taxonomy ''Trachyscorpia'' was first described as a genus by the Lithuanian-born American ichthyologist Isaac Ginsburg in 1953 with ''Scorpaena cristulata'', a species described by the American ichthyologists George Brown Goode and Tarleton Hoffman Bean in 1896 from off Georgia, designated as its type species. The generic name, ''Trachyscorpia'' is a compound of ''trachys'', meaning "coarse" or "rough", and ''scorpia'', which means “scorpion”, the first part is a reference to the ctenoid scales of the type species and the second is derived from ''Scorpaena'' the original genus of ''T. cristulata''. Species There are currently seven recognised species in this genus: * '' Trachyscorpia carnomagula'' Motomura, Last & Yearsley, 2007 (Deepsea Scorpionfish) * ...

Trachyscorpia Echinata
The spiny scorpionfish (''Trachyscorpia echinata'') is a species of marine ray-finned fish belonging to the subfamily Sebastinae, the rockfishes, part of the family Scorpaenidae. It is found in the eastern Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean. Taxonomy The spiny scorpionfish was first formally described as ''Scorpaena echinata'' in 1896 by the French zoologist Jean Baptiste François René Koehler with the type locality given as the Bay of Biscay in France. Many authorities regard this taxon as a subspecies of the Atlantic thornyhead (''Trachyscorpia cristulata''), while others regard it as a synonym of that taxon. This taxon is also placed by some authorities in the subgenus ''Trachyscorpia''. The specific name ''echinata'' means "prickly", an allusion Koehler did not explain, but it is likely to be a reference to its spiny ctenoid scales. Description The spiny scorpionfish has a large head and orbit and a maximum length of , typically . It is reddish with a dusky pigment o ...

Trachyscorpia Cristulata
The Atlantic thornyhead (''Trachyscorpia echinata'') is a species of marine ray-finned fish belonging to the subfamily Sebastinae, the rockfishes, part of the family Scorpaenidae. It is found in the western Atlantic Ocean and the Caribbean Sea. Taxonomy The Atlantic thornyhead was first formally described in 1896 as ''Scorpaena cristulata'' by the American ichthyologists George Brown Goode andTarleton Hoffman Bean with the type locality given as off Georgia. When the Lithuanian-born American ichthyologist Isaac Ginsburg raised the genus ''Trachyscorpia'' he designated ''S. cristulata'' as its type species. Soome authorities consider the spiny scorpionfish (''T. echinata'') to either be a subspecies or to be synonymous with ''T. cristulata''. The specific name ''cristulata'' is a diminutive of ''cristata'' meaning "tufted" or "crested", Goode and Bean did not explain this allusion but it may refer to the filaments behind nearly all the head spines.

Sebastinae
Sebastinae is a subfamily of marine fish belonging to the family Scorpaenidae in the order Scorpaeniformes. Their common names include rockfishes, rock perches, ocean perches, sea perches, thornyheads, scorpionfishes, sea ruffes and rockcods. Despite the latter name, they are not closely related to the cods in the genus ''Gadus'', nor the rock cod, ''Lotella rhacina''. Taxonomy Sebastinae, or Sebastidae, was first formally recognised as a grouping in 1873 by the German naturalist Johann Jakob Kaup. Some authorities recognise this family as distinct from Scorpaenidae. FishBase, a finfish database generated by a consortium of academic institutions, does, but the United States Federal government's Integrated Taxonomic Information System and the 5th Edition of ''Fishes of the World'' do not, FotW classify it as a subfamily of the Scorpaenidae. Tribes and genera Sebastinae is divided into two tribes and seven genera: * Tribe Sebastini Kaup, 1873 ** ''Helicolenus'' Goode & Bean, 1 ...

Scorpaena
''Scorpaena'' is a widespread genus of marine ray-finned fish belonging to the family Scorpaenidae, the scorpionfishes. Taxonomy ''Scorpaena'' was first described as a genus in 1758 by Carl Linnaeus in the 10th Edition of his ''Systema Naturae''. In 1876 Pieter Bleeker designated ''S. porcus'' as the type species of the genus. The genus name is based on the Greek word for a scorpion, ''skorpaina'', an allusion to the venomous spines Linnaeus mentioned in his description of ''S. scrofa''. Species The 65 recognized species in this genus are: Characteristics ''Scorpaena'' scorpionfishes have a very bony head which is armed with numerous spines. There is a horizontal bony ridge beneath the eyes with 1-4 spines. They have an occipital pit. The uppermost spine on the preoperculum is the longest. There are patches of teeth on the roof of the mouth and at its sides. There are 12 spines and between 7 and 10 soft rays in the dorsal fin while the anal fin has 3 spines and 5 soft rays ...

Gilbert Percy Whitley
Gilbert Percy Whitley (9 June 1903 – 18 July 1975) was a British-born Australian ichthyologist and malacologist who was Curator of Fishes at the Australian Museum in Sydney for about 40 years. He was born at Swaythling, Southampton, England, and was educated at King Edward VI School, Southampton and the Royal Naval College, Osborne.

During his term of office he doubled the size of the ichthyological collection to 37,000 specimens through many collecting expeditions. Whitley was also a major force in the Royal Zoological Society of New South Wales, of which he was made a Fellow in 1934 and where he served as president during 1940–41, 1959–60 and 1973–74. ...
