1. (zoology) Any species of the family Soleidae.
   • 2003, Roberto E. Reis, Sven O. Kullander, Carl J. Ferraris, Check List of the Freshwater Fishes of South and Central America, page 666,

     A similar character also appears in the Soleidae, but is never covered by lower lip in that family; soleids do not occur in the Neotropics.

   • 2005, T. W. Farooqi, R. F. Shaw, J. G. Ditty, J. Lyczkowski-Shultz, Chapter 207: Cynoglossidae: Tongue fishes, William J. Richards (editor), Early Stages of Atlantic Fishes, page 2368,

     Larvae of the flatfish family Soleidae most closely resemble tonguefish larvae but the smaller jaws and more attenuated body shape in cynoglossids serves to distinguish them from larval soleids.

   • 2008, Thomas A. Monroe, Chapter 2: Systematic diversity of the Pleuronectiformes, Robin N. Gibson (editor), Flatfishes: Biology and Exploitation, page 14,

     The oldest soleids, Eobuglossus eocenicus and Turahbuglossus cuvillieri, both known from single specimens from the Upper Lutetian of Egypt (Chabanaud 1937; Chanet 1994, 1997), are also among the first known flatfish fossils and they are identical to skeletons of recent soleids.
