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 .
