Pogonias is a genus of ray-finned fish in the family Sciaenidae. It was formerly believed to be a monotypic genus only containing the black drum, but a second species was re-described in 2019.
==Taxonomy== Pogonias was first proposed as a monospecific genus in 1803 by the French naturalist Bernard Germain de Lacépède when he described Pogonias fasciatus as a new species from Charleston, South Carolina. Pogonias fasciatus subsequently came to be regarded as a junior synonym of Linnaeus' Labrus chromis. The genus Pogonias has been placed in the subfamily Sciaeninae by some workers, but the 5th edition of Fishes of the World does not recognise subfamilies within the Sciaenidae which it places in the order Acanthuriformes.
