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''.

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.
