Limanda is a genus of righteye flounders native to the northern Atlantic and Pacific oceans.
A 2018 cladistic morphological and genetic analysis found that the genus is not monophyletic, and has proposed L. ferruginea, L. proboscidea and L. punctatissima be placed in the genus Myzopsetta.[1]
Species
[edit]There are currently six recognized species in this genus:[2]
- Limanda aspera (Pallas, 1814) (Yellowfin sole)
- Limanda ferruginea (D. H. Storer (fr), 1839) (Yellowtail flounder)
- Limanda limanda (Linnaeus, 1758) (Common dab)
- Limanda proboscidea C. H. Gilbert, 1896 (Longhead dab)
- Limanda punctatissima (Steindachner, 1879) (Speckled flounder)
- Limanda sakhalinensis C. L. Hubbs, 1915 (Sakhalin sole)
A single fossil species, †Limanda asperoides (Nazarkin, 1997) (originally described in Pleuronectes) is also known from the Middle Miocene of Sakhalin, Russia.[3][4]
