The Scombrinae are a subfamily of ray-finned bony fishes in the family Scombridae.[1] Of the 51 species in the Scombridae, 50 are in Scombrinae – with the sole exception being the butterfly kingfish, which is placed in the monospecific subfamily Gasterochismatinae.[2]

The Scombrinae, therefore, comprise 50 extant species in 14 genera, grouped into four tribes:

Subfamily Scombrinae

Tribe Scombrini – mackerels
Genus Rastrelliger
Genus Scomber
Tribe Scomberomorini – Spanish mackerels
Genus Acanthocybium
Genus Grammatorcynus
Genus Scomberomorus
Tribe Sardini – bonitos
Genus Sarda
Genus Cybiosarda
Genus Gymnosarda
Genus Orcynopsis
Tribe Thunnini – tunas
Genus Allothunnus
Genus Auxis
Genus Euthynnus
Genus Katsuwonus
Genus Thunnus
