Sudis is a genus of barracudinas, with two currently recognized species:[1]
- Sudis atrox Rofen, 1963 (fierce pike smelt)
- Sudis hyalina Rafinesque, 1810
The generic name is from Latin sudis, which referred to a wooden stake, but was also used by Pliny the Elder to describe a barracuda-like fish.[2]
