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]
