From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Plectrogeniidae, the stinger flatheads, are a family of ray-finned fishes in the suborder Scorpaenoidei.[1]
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.[1][2]

Genera
The following genera are placed in this family:[3]
- 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.[2][4]
