Taxonomy edit
Sebastolobini was first formally recognised as a grouping in 1943 by the Japanese ichthyologist Kiyomatsu Matsubara.[1] Authorities who treat the clade referred to as Sebastinae as a family treat the Sebastolobini as a subfamily and call this grouping Sebastolobinae.[2]
Genera edit
Sebastini contains three genera with 11 species, most in Trachyscorpia.[3][2]
