Several, see text Pseudotolithus is a genus of marine ray-finned fish belonging to the family Sciaenidae, the drums or croakers.
Pseudotolithus was first proposed as a genus in 1863 by the Dutch physician, herpetologist and ichthyologist Pieter Bleeker when he described the new species P. brachygnathus, P. epipercus and P.
[1] Ethelwynn Trewavas placed the eastern Atlantic Afrotropical sciaenids, Pseudotolithus and Pteroscion, in the tribe Pseudotolithini.
[4] However, the 5th edition of Fishes of the World does not recognise tribes or subfamilies within the Sciaenidae which it places in the order Acanthuriformes.
[7] Pseudotolithus croakers are found in the Western Atlantic Ocean from Morocco in the north to Angola in the south.
