Zenopsis
Zenopsis is a genus of dories, a group of marine fish. There are four extant species, but the genus is also known from fossils dating back to the Oligocene epoch. They largely resemble the better-known John Dory, and are typically found in relatively deep water, below normal scuba diving depth.
