Plectrogeniidae

Plectrogeniidae, the stinger flatheads, are a family of ray-finned fishes in the suborder Scorpaenoidei.
It was formerly considered a subfamily of Scorpaenidae, but more recent phylogenetic studies support it being treated as its own family. It is recognized as such by Eschmeyer's Catalog of Fishes.

Genera

The following genera are placed in this family:

Bembradium Gilbert, 1905
Plectrogenium Gilbert, 1905

Until a 2018 phylogenetic study identified the relationship between these two genera, Bembradium was placed within the Bembridae, while Plectrogenium was placed in its own subfamily in the Scorpaenidae.
