Taxonomy

Pseudoblennius was first used as a name by Coenraad Jacob Temminck and Hermann Schlegel in 1850 but they did not designate a type species. Albert Günther designated P. percoides as the type species in 1861.[1] The 5th edition of Fishes of the World classifies the genus Pseudoblennius within the subfamily Cottinae of the family Cottidae,[2] however, other authors classify the genus within the subfamily Psychrolutinae of the family Psychrolutidae.[1]

Species

There are currently six recognized species in this genus:[3]
