Two new species closely related to Anthias asperilinguis are described, A. asperilinguis is redescribed and Holanthias martinicensis is reviewed. One of the new species occurs off southeastern United States; the other, off South America from northeastern Brazil (south of the equator) to Uruguay. Anthias asperilinguis ranges from the southern Caribbean off Venezuela to northeastern Brazil (just north of the equator). Holanthias martinicensis is known from North Carolina to southern Brazil (including Bermuda, West Indies, Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean Sea). Western Atlantic Anthias is characterized and a key to western Atlantic species of Anthias and Holanthias martinicensis is presented. The nominal species A. duplicidentatus and A. louisi are relegated to the synonymy of Holanthias martinicensis. The enigmatic Serranus tonsor (known only from the brief original description) is considered unidentifiable.
