體中長，略側扁，前背部明顯隆起。標準體長為體高之2.25-2.5倍。頭中大，標準體長為頭長之2.25-2.5倍，棘稜具明顯的鋸齒狀。眼頗小，頭長為眼長之5.2-6.2倍，上側位。眼間距寬，頭長為眼間距之3.8-4.4倍。口中大，上端位，斜裂且角度極度傾斜，與水平呈40-50°
(S.
diabolus嘴部斜裂角度呈60-70°)，下頷長於上頷。鼻棘由6-11棘所取代。眶下脊呈鋸齒狀。眶下脊具4棘，角度向腹側位，第一棘位於淚骨。眼後棘由2-4鋸齒狀突起取代，由1脊延伸至鼓棘。上鰓蓋棘雙分岔。翼耳骨棘與後顳骨棘呈鋸齒狀。頸棘具補上3棘。枕骨凹陷深，前緣具1彎曲低矮的脊。眼眶下前端具1倒三角形凹陷。眼間距無縱列皮瓣，眼上棘具觸角但不明顯。鱗片小，櫛鱗。側線上側位，斜直，後半部平直，末端延伸至尾鰭基部。側線縱鱗列：42-45。背鰭低矮，起始於上鰓蓋棘上方，硬棘與鰭條有鰭膜相連，硬棘部的基底長於軟條部的基底，通常第三-4棘最長，具硬棘

III，軟條5；胸鰭圓寬，無鰭條分離，軟條16-18；腹鰭胸位，延伸至肛門，具硬棘
I，軟條5；本種體色多變，不易辨別，胸鰭內側斑紋可作為辨認本種之特徵：鰭膜上不具1列黑色斑點，但接近胸鰭基部處散布小黑斑點。(李承運、林沛立2012/11編寫)
棲地
provided by The Fish Database of Taiwan
本種主要棲息於泥沙底或礁台之外的外環礁區，水深至40m。具偽裝能力，時常隱藏身體而不容易被發現，藉以守株待兔般快速捕捉過往之小魚與甲殼動物為食。背鰭鰭棘下具毒腺，是海中危險生物。
Scorpaenopsis neglecta
provided by wikipedia EN
Scorpaenopsis neglecta, the yellowfin scorpionfish or bandtail scorpionfish, is a species of venomous marine ray-finned fish belonging to the family Scorpaenidae, the scorpionfishes. It is found in the Indo-West Pacific.
Taxonomy
Scorpaenopsis neglecta was first formally described in 1837 by the Austrian ichthyologist Johann Jakob Heckel with the type locality given as the "Sea of East Indies".[3] The specific name neglecta means "neglected" or "overlooked", a reference Heckel did not explain, although he may have been suggesting that this species had previously been misidentified as S. nesogallica.[4]
Description
Scorpaenopsis neglecta has a highly arched nap and front part of the body which leads to a humpback appearance. It has a wide space between the eyes.[5] There are 12 spines and 9 soft rays in its dorsal fin while its anal fin has 3 spines and 5 soft rays. There is a serrated ridge above the eye and the pterotic, lower posttemporal, and second suborbital spines are replaced by serrated ridges. The nuchal spine has 1 or 2 supplemental spines and the forward ridge of the lacrimal bone is serrated.[6] The pattern of this scorpion fish is made up of blotches and mottling coloured to camouflage it. There is a dark reddish band across the outer part of the tail just in from the margin, and there is frequently a yellowish patch on the operculum. The inner surface of the pectoral fin does not have any dark spots and has a black band across the upper rays near their tips with small dark spots where the pectoral fin joins the body.[7] This species reaches a maximum standard length of 19 cm (7.5 in).[6]
Distribution, habitat and biology
Scorpaenopsis neglecta has an Indo-West Pacific distribution, occurring as far west as India and Sri Lanka east to New Caledonia, north to southern Japan, and south to northern Australia,[1] where it is found from Shark Bay in Western Australia to Wollongong in New South Wales.[7] It is found on rock and coral reefs in shallow water,[5] as well as on sand and mud substrates, at depths down to 40 m (130 ft). It is normally a solitary species. It has venom glands in its fin spines.[6]
