See text Lepidoperca is a small genus of ray-finned fish belonging to the family Anthiadidae.

Lepidoperca was first established by the British ichthyologist Charles Tate Regan in 1914.

[1] Members of Lepidoperca have moderately compressed oblong or ovate bodies.

The caudal fin is truncate to lunate in shape with 15 soft rays.

[2] Lepidoperca is closely related to the genus Caesioperca, but differ from the latter in the smaller number of rays from the dorsal and anal fins, larger eyes, and their V-shaped vomerine teeth patch (in contrast to the pentagon-shaped patch of Caesioperca).
