Sebastini is a tribe of marine ray-finned fishes belonging to the subfamily Sebastinae of the family Scorpaenidae in the order Scorpaeniformes.
Sebastini was first formally recognised as a grouping in 1873 by the German naturalist Johann Jakob Kaup.[1] Authorities who treat the clade referred to as Sebastinae as a family treat the Sebastini as a subfamily and call this grouping Sebastinae.[2]
Sebastini contains four genera with 120 species, most in Sebastes.[3][2]
