Holanthias is a genus of colourful marine ray-finned fishes in the subfamily Anthiinae, part of the Serranidae, the groupers and sea basses. The two species are restricted to fairly deep reefs in the Southeast Atlantic.[2] Both reach a length of about 22 cm (8.7 in).[2]
Species[]
In the past this genus included more species, but these have now been moved to other genera; Meganthias, Odontanthias and Pronotogrammus. Based on FishBase, the following two species are currently included in Holanthias:[2]
- Trunov, 1976 – Ascension
- (Günther, 1868) (St Helena sea perch) – Saint Helena
