Scarus
Scarus is a genus of parrotfish. With at least fifty-two currently recognised extant species, it is by far the largest genus in this group. The vast majority are found at reefs in the Indo-Pacific, but a small number of species are found in the warmer parts of the eastern Pacific, and the western and eastern Atlantic. Most are very colourful, and have strikingly different initial and terminal phases. Most species have a maximum length between 30 and 50 centimetres, but the rainbow parrotfish reaches 1.2 metres.
Chambers 20th Century Dictionary
Scarus
skā′rus, n. a genus of fishes including the parrot-wrasses. [Scaridæ.]
