Cepola is a genus of marine fish in the bandfish family Cepolidae.[1] The name red bandfish is applied to all members of this genus, but particularly C. macrophthalma, and generally not C. australis, which is also known as the Australian bandfish.[2]
Five species are recognised, and there may be a sixth, as yet undescribed, from the waters near Bermuda.[3]
The oldest recorded recipe is for C. macrophthalma. The original recipe book, by Mithaecus, is now lost, but the recipe itself survives thanks to being quoted in the Deipnosophistae.[4][5]
Species
There are currently five recognized species in this genus:[2]
- Cepola australis J. D. Ogilby, 1899 (Australian bandfish)
- Cepola haastii (Hector, 1881)
- Cepola macrophthalma (Linnaeus, 1758) (Red bandfish)
- Cepola pauciradiata Cadenat, 1950
- Cepola schlegelii Bleeker, 1854
