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.[2] 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.[3]
