Rypticus
''Rypticus'' is a genus of fish in the family Serranidae, the sea basses and groupers. It is one of several genera of soapfishes. These fish live in the Atlantic and eastern Pacific Oceans in tropical and warmer temperate zones.〔Guimarães, R. Z. P. (1999). (Revision, phylogeny and comments on biogeography of soapfishes of the genus ''Rypticus'' (Teleostei: Serranidae). ) ''Bulletin of Marine Science'' 65(2) 337-79.〕
==Description==
The genus can be distinguished from the rest of the Serranidae by a few morphological details, such as its lack of anal fin spines. It also has only 2 to 4 dorsal fin spines; other serranids have more. The mouth is large and the lower jaw protrudes. The coloration varies, but there is usually a brown stripe from the mouth to the front of the dorsal fin. Several species are distinctly spotted. ''R. bistrispinus'' has red-brown spots, ''R. bornoi'' and ''R. subbifrenatus'' have dark brown, rounded spots, ''R. maculatus'' has white spots, ''R. bicolor'' and ''R. courtenayi'' have many rounded, pale cream spots, and ''R. nigripinnis'' has ocellated (eye-like) spots, while ''R. randalli'' is more blotchy than spotted.〔
