Genus ACANTHOPSETTA Schmidt. 



Acanthopsetta Schmidt, Faune Mer. Och., 1903, p. 19. 



Acanthopsetta is allied to Verasper and Xystrias, but differs from 

 them and resembles Eippoglossoides in having a single series of teeth 

 in both jaws, even to the symphysis; and in the longer lower arch in 

 the lateral line. This genus is characterized by the scaly snout and 

 eye ball.
