Pomadasys is a genus of grunts native to the waters of the eastern Atlantic Ocean and through the Indian Ocean to the Pacific coast of the Americas.[2] The name of this genus is a compound of poma meaning "lid" or "covering" and dasys meaning "rough", a reference to the serrated preopercle.[3]

Systematics
Pomadasys has been subject to some molecular studies which have resolved the genus as paraphyletic. To resolve this paraphyly the genera Rhencus and Rhonciscus were revived with the eastern Pacific species P. maacrocanthus and P. panamensis being placed in Rhencus while Rhonicus contains the eastern Pacific species P. bayanus and the western Atlantic species P. crocro.[5]
