Zebrias is a genus of soles native to coastal waters in the Indo-Pacific and southern Australia. All species in the genus have clear dark and pale stripes (resembling the related Aesopia and Pseudaesopia), giving it a name derived from the word 'Zebra' due to the shared characteristic.[1] At least some members of this genus are toxic.[2]
