Pseudopriacanthus Bleeker, 1869 Pristigenys is a genus of marine ray-finned fish in the family Priacanthidae.

It contains five extant species and one extinct species, P. substriata, which is known from fossils found in the Eocene of Monte Bolca, Italy.

[4] The extant species have been classified in the genus Pseudopriacanthus which both Fishbase and the Catalog of Fishes treat as a synonym of Pristigenys,[3] but recent work has argued that they should be separated based on numerous differences in the cranial region and the fins.

[4][5] The following species are classified in the genus Pristigenys:[6][4]
