Pseudogramma polyacantha, the palespot podge, is a species of marine ray-finned fish in the family Grammistidae, native to the Indo-Pacific.
The confused podge was once considered a subspecies of Pseudogramma polyacantha, but recent work has demonstrated it to be a distinct species.Randall, J.E., & Baldwin, C.C.
