Snyderina is a genus of ray-finned fishes, waspfishes belonging to the subfamily Tetraroginae, which is classified as part of the family Scorpaenidae, the scorpionfishes and their relatives.

Snyderina was first described as a genus in 1901 by the American ichthyologists David Starr Jordan and Edwin Chapin Starks, Jordan and Starks described it as a monotypic genus for their newly described Snyderina yamanokami from Kagoshima on Kyushu in Japan.

[1][2] Later the western Indian Ocean species, Tetraroge guentheri, which had been described in 1889 by the Belgian born British ichthyologist George Albert Boulenger, was also classified within Snyderina.

[4] The genus name Snyderina honours Jordan and Starks' fellow American ichthyologist John Otterbein Snyder for his studies nof Japanese fishes.

[5] There are currently two recognized species in this genus:[4] Snyderichthys waspfishes are characterised by having the body covered in small scales, a single spine and 5 rays in the pelvic fin.
