Talk:Caracanthinae
Latest comment: 12 years ago by Koumz
Validity of Caracanthidae as full family, rather than subfamily of Scorpaenidae, has been challenged in the references below. Eschmeyer's online Catalog of Fishes views this challenge as correct and places the fishes of Caracanthus in Scorpaenidae : Caracanthinae. This change is not explicitly accepted by other authors, but there has also not been a published refutation. Koumz (talk) 19:47, 16 August 2011 (UTC)
