Template:Short description Template:Automatic taxobox Pteroini is a tribe of marine ray-finned fishes, one of two tribes in the subfamily Scorpaeninae. This tribe includes the lionfishes, sawcheek scorpionfishes and turkeyfishes. The taxonomy of the scorpionfishes is in some flux; the 5th Edition of Fishes of the World treats this taxa 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]
