Amblycirrhitus is a genus of ray-finned fishes, hawkfishes belonging to the family Cirrhitidae. These fishes are found on tropical reefs worldwide.
==Taxonomy== Amblycirrhitus was originally described as a genus in 1862 by the American ichthyologist Theodore Nicholas Gill with the type species designated as Cirrhites fasciatus, which is a synonym of Amblycirrhitus pinos, as this name for a taxon described in 1829 by Cuvier’s was preoccupied. The genus name is a compound of ambly which means “blunt” which Gill did not explain but which may be an allusion to the “abbreviated” head of the type species or possibly of its “slightly convex” snout, and Cirrhitus, the type genus of family.
