Sebastolobini is a tribe of marine ray-finned fishes belonging to the subfamily Sebastinae of the family Scorpaenidae in the order Scorpaeniformes. Many species have the common name thornyhead.
Sebastolobini was first formally recognised as a grouping in 1943 by the Japanese ichthyologist Kiyomatsu Matsubara.[1] Authorities who treat the clade referred to as Sebastinae as a family treat the Sebastolobini as a subfamily and call this grouping Sebastolobinae.
Sebastini contains three genera with 11 species, most in Trachyscorpia.[2]
