Sphoeroides is a genus of pufferfishes.
- ^ An anonymous review of volume I of Lacépède's Histoire naturelle des poissons (in the Allgemeine Literatur-Zeitung, 1798, columns 673–680) was apparently the first publication to Latinize several of Lacépède's genera; in this case Lacépède's name was Sphéroïdes.
