Lythrichthys longimanus, the red deepwater scorpionfish, is a marine ray-finned fish belonging to the subfamily Setarchinae, which is a part of the family Scorpaenidae.[1]
Taxonomy
The red deepwater scorpionfish was formerly assigned to the genus Setarches. However, a 2021 study demonstrated it to be referrable to the newly resurrected genus Lythrichthys.[2][3]
