Zenopsis is a genus of dories, a group of marine fish. There are four extant species, but the genus is also known from fossils dating back to the Oligocene epoch. They largely resemble the better-known John Dory, and are typically found in relatively deep water, below normal scuba diving depth.
Species
There are currently four recognized recent species in this genus:[2]
Zenopsis conchifer (R. T. Lowe, 1852) (sometimes misspelled[3] Z. conchifera) (Silvery John dory)
Zenopsis nebulosa (Temminck & Schlegel, 1845) (mirror dory)
Zenopsis oblongus Parin, 1989
Zenopsis stabilispinosa Nakabo, D. J. Bray & Yamada, 2006
