==Taxonomy== Trachyscorpia was first described as a genus by the Lithuanian-born American ichthyologist Isaac Ginsburg in 1953 with Scorpaena cristulata, a species described by the American ichthyologists George Brown Goode and Tarleton Hoffman Bean in 1896 from off Georgia, designated as its type species. The generic name, Trachyscorpia is a compound of trachys, meaning "coarse" or "rough", and scorpia, which means "scorpion", the first part is a reference to the ctenoid scales of the type species and the second is derived from Scorpaena the original genus of T. cristulata.
