  • Pleuronichthys cornutus (Temminck & Schlegel, 1846) (Ridge-eyed flounder) [3]
  • Pleuronichthys decurrens D. S. Jordan & C. H. Gilbert, 1881 (Curlfin sole)
  • Pleuronichthys guttulatus (Girard, 1856) (Diamond turbot)
  • Pleuronichthys japonicus S. Suzuki, Kawashima & Nakabo, 2009
  • Pleuronichthys macrocephalus (Breder, 1936)
  • Pleuronichthys ocellatus Starks & W. F. Thompson, 1910 (Ocellated turbot)
  • Pleuronichthys ritteri Starks & E. L. Morris, 1907 (Spotted turbot)
