Subfamilies and genera
The four subfamilies with 12 genera in this family are:
- Girellinae Gill, 1862[1] (nibblers)
- Kyphosinae Jordan, 1887[1] (rudderfishes)
- Microcanthinae Bleeker, 1876[1] (microanthines)
- Genus Atypichthys Günther, 1862[6]
- Genus Microcanthus Swainson, 1839[6]
- Genus Neatypus Waite, 1905[6]
- Genus Tilodon Thominot, 1881[6]
- Scorpidinae Günther, 1860[1] (halfmoons)
- Genus Bathystethus Gill, 1893[7]
- Genus Labracoglossa Peters, 1866[7]
- Genus Medialuna Jordan & Fesler, 1893[7]
- Genus Neoscorpis J.L.B. Smith, 1931[5]
- Genus Scorpis Valenciennes 1832[7]
Alternative classification
Some authorities raise the subfamilies to full family status as the families Girellidae, Kyphosidae, Microacanthidae and Scorpididae and do not support the monophyly of the Kyphosidae as outlined above.[2]

Timeline
gollark: I have no idea. Try and learn multiple diverse skills, probably.
gollark: You probably couldn't throw electronic schematics into one of those sanely, but I don't think that's a fundamental barrier.
gollark: We already have some automation for the "writing boring chunks of glue code" side of programming by throwing somewhat poorly optimised language models at it.
gollark: Just how short *is* your expected life expectancy?
gollark: No, I don't actually do any electronics ever. I've heard there are fairly good ones now.
