Poromitra is a genus of ridgeheads. The 22 known species of Poromitra have been divided into five species groups according to variation in preopercle anatomy.[1]

A Poromitra curilensis specimen from the Shirshov Institute of Oceanology, obtained on October 7, 1968, marks the first discovery of a Poromitra member in the southeastern Pacific Ocean.[1]
