Biology:Pteroinae
Pteroinae is a subfamily of marine ray-finned fishes in the family Scorpaenidae. This tribe includes the lionfishes, sawcheek scorpionfishes, and turkeyfishes. Previously, the fifth edition of Fishes of the World treated this group as a tribe within the subfamily Scorpaeninae of the family Scorpaenidae within the order Scorpaeniformes,[1] while other authorities treat it as a subfamily within a reduced family Scorpaenidae within the suborder Scorpaenoidei,[2] or the superfamily Scorpaenoidea within the order Perciformes.[3] Presently, Eschmeyer's Catalog of Fishes treats it as a subfamily within Scorpaenidae.[4]
